Commonly Asked Questions
A blender works great, but you can also use an immersion blender which is much cheaper and easier to store!
Yes! Soup makes amazing leftovers. It reheats well, lasts for at least a couple days in the fridge, and actually gets better over time as the flavors deepen. Another meal-prep friendly soup is Three Bean 20-Minute Chili.
I like using a big tomato for this recipe like Roma tomatoes or beefsteak tomatoes. You can also use cherry tomatoes (use extra of course) or tomatoes off the vine!
Fresh elevates and enhances the flavor in this soup, but dried works fine too.

Extra Helpful Tips
- If you are using a blender to blend the veggies, be cautious of the heat of the veggies and make sure to have the lid of the blender on to avoid a mess.
- For cooking the grilled cheese, you can use a skillet. If you want melty cheese and are using dairy-free, put a lid on the pan to “steam” it.
- If you are making grilled cheese croutons, they are best when they are crispy and put right on top of the soup before serving to avoid the croutons getting mushy.

How to Store

Christine m says
Soup was fantastic. Really easy. Next time I’ll remove the thyme from the stem before roasting. They didn’t blend well with the immersion blender.
judy says
How do you add the roasted garlic?Thank you.
Taylor says
Hi! Taylor from team HealthyGirl here!
You can cut the whole clove in half and put it straight on to the baking sheet. When it comes out you will be able to squeeze the clove to get the garlic out.
Connie says
Do you squeeze the garlic out of it’s papery shell before blending?
Taylor From HealthyGirl Kitchen says
yes

Hi!
Love this recipe! I was just wondering, I plan on making this for my partner and he’s allergic to coconut. Could I substitute the coconut cream for cottage cheese?
Thanks 🙂
Taylor From HealthyGirl Kitchen says
Hi! I am vegan so I have not tried that substitute. Possibly a dairy free unflavored yogurt?
Jordan Stacy says
This soup is so easy and the grilled cheese croutons are a hit with my family! Love that this recipe is dairy-free.
Lynda Stone says
I’m not familiar with coconut cream. Where is it found in the grocery store? Thank you Lynda.
Jordan Stacy says
Hi Linda! Jordan from the HealthyGirl team here. Coconut cream (aka canned full-fat coconut milk) will be in the canned section in the Asian/International food aisle or the Baking aisle. Hope this helps!
Jordan Stacy says
