Make sure the soup is cooled completely before storing in an airtight container.

Holy cow this was good! I usually don’t leave recipe reviews but this is going in my little leather bound “keeper recipes” book. I am using this for green bean casserole and it’s better than the non-vegan can! Fresh and delicious! I used extra creamy plain (no flavor) oat milk and doubled the thyme, added some onion powder. Perfection!! Thank you! I’ll finally have a yummy vegan casserole for Thanksgiving!
