I have a soft spot for soups that warm the soul, and this Vegan Smoked Cream of Pickle Soup does just that!
Growing up, my grandmother would make her version of creamy soups, always adding a twist that made them special.
One day, I decided to put my own plant-based spin on it, and let me tell you, the addition of pickle puree and smoked tofu is a game changer.
It’s a fun and comforting dish that always brings me back to those cozy kitchen moments.

Recipe Variations

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this soup ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just keep in mind the gnocchi might soak up a bit of the liquid, so you may need to add a splash of water or broth when reheating.
