J. Kenji López-Alt's 15-Minute Creamy (Vegan) Tomato Soup
Of all the clever things J. Kenji López-Alt has done in his career—the Food Lab cookbook and column at Serious Eats, the years clocked at America’s Test Kitchen and on restaurant lines—this 15-minute soup is one of his favorites, and one he makes most often. Adapted very slightly from Serious Eats.
