I'm not vegan, but I'm trying to eat more plant-based meals. This soup is a great way to do that. It's hearty and satisfying, and it doesn't taste like it's missing anything.

This soup is very easy to make, but it doesn't have a lot of flavor. I think it would be better if you added some more spices or herbs.

I'm not a huge fan of vegan cheese, but I thought the nutritional yeast in this soup was a great substitute. It added a nice cheesy flavor without being too overpowering.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I usually add a few extra vegetables, such as carrots and celery, to bulk it up.

This soup was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Other than that, it was a very good soup. The texture was creamy and smooth, and the flavors were well-balanced.
