This vibrant summertime soup features a blended-tomato base that is full-bodied and bursting with fresh flavor. To get this easy soup on the table even faster, prepare the veggies ahead of time and keep them refrigerated until you’re ready to start cooking.

Hi, Website is great but one request for you - would it be possible to include the recipe ingredients in Kilograms/Grams rather that Pounds/Ounces/Cups?

Can I just use high quality Biance Dinapoli canned whole tomatoes and puree them? How many cans would I use as a substitute?

Matt Merrill

Delicious! Thank you for this fresh and easy prep meal. I clicked on the Print/Save Recipe icon then saved as PDF.

Right below the picture of the soap, you will see one of the options listed underneath, far right, to PRINT/SAVE recipe. Click on it. You will then be asked for your email. Enter email. On your screen, a printable recipe should pop up, allowing you to print the recipe. Hope that helps for all those asking.

Your recipe didn't address the cornbread in the "instructions" portion. I am actually searching for a WFPB cornbread recipe.

janice thomason

I would like to print the recipe please provide directions

Cathryn Smith

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this. I copy and paste the recipe to a Word document and print. Alternatively, you could use the print feature in your browser but you end up with everything, then.

cblayloc

Louise
