Tips

The slice of bread makes the soup creamy. You can use any white bread you have or substitute for vegan cream.

For the mixed herbs and spices, again just use whatever herbs and spices you have in the pantry.

Take this many different ways by using different spices. Mexican tomato soup would be an easy adjustment to make.
