Instructions
- Melt the Becel® Vegan Margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour the tomatoes and vegetable broth into the pot. Then add tomato paste, salt, sugar, dried basil, crushed red pepper and Italian seasoning. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Transfer the soup to a blender, and blend until smooth. Return soup to the pot and stir in the Becel® Plant-based Whipping Cream. Serve immediately with croutons.
Croutons
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Arrange an oven rack to the centre position.
- Transfer the diced bread to a mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together the Becel Vegan Margarine and salt. Pour the mixture over the diced bread. Stir to coat the bread cubes well.
- Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until golden. Stir the cubes halfway through baking. Let the croutons cool before adding to soup.
