Tomato Soupwith avocado toast
This soup is the definition of comforting with the addition of umami-rich sun dried tomatoes and a pinch of warming cinnamon stirred in at the end. Avocado toast makes a quick and protein-rich side dish for this vegetarian meal that was first featured in November 2013.
Smarts: Use any base you'd like for the avocado toast - naan, pita or thick-sliced sandwich bread will all work here.

Didn’t use Greek yogurt since lactose intolerant but otherwise hubby and I both enjoyed. Also we didn’t have the blender and food processor left some chunks but still tasty.
Was way too thick - consistency was more like salsa than soup.
I think it would taste better without the Greek yogurt
We don't have a blender and our food processor is ridiculously old. Maybe would have worked better if we had proper tools. Also, avocado spread needed more spicing somehow. Love the concept of this meal, just didn't execute it well. Also needed to double soup.
Used only one can or fire roasted tomatoes (with jalapeno) and one plain and it was still quite spicy. Very delicious and easy!
Best thing about this was the roasted carrots and parsnips from the vegetarian menu, next the avocado on nann, soup was fine, but not super exciting.
