my very nice vegan tomato soup :3

hi

i just made very nice vegan tomato soup while pulling the recipe out of my ass, so i wanna share it and note it so i don't forget in the future

# ingredients

• 1 onion ( cubed )
• 1 teaspoon of dried basil
• 2 cups of vegetable broth
• 125 ml of coconut milk ( update its actually 400 or so ml, i must've misread something )
• 800 g of canned tomatoes in juices
• salt
• pepper
• 50 g of rice
• 3 teaspoons of sugar
• boiling hot water
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic ( crushed )

# tools

• ( immersion ) blender ( optional )
• a medium large pot

# instructions

i have to prefix this section with that cooking is an art form, don't treat this as exact instructions, experiment :)

1. wash your rice ( might want to leave it soaking in hot water after washing if you're not using a blender )
2. add olive oil into the pot on high heat and heat it for 3 minutes
3. add in your onion and cook for 4-5 minutes
4. add in your garlic and dried basil and cook for 1 minute
5. add in your tomatoes in juices, coconut milk, vegetable broth, salt, pepper, sugar, and rice into the pot
6. mix it and let it do its thing for 5 minutes
7. taste it, see how's the texture and the flavour, if you want something less - add boiling water
8. let it boil until you think it feels right, say like 10 more minutes, maybe 15
9. take it off heat and blend it, if you don't have a blender this step is optional, or you can at least try to crush some stuff up by hand ( fork, manual potato masher or something similar )
10. put it back on heat for 5 more minutes
11. serve however you want it, for example with vegan grilled cheese sandwich, i personally served it with bread ( 👍 )

bon apetit
