Notes

Prep ahead: Prep soup up to 3-4 days ahead of serving. Bread is best when fresh.
Leftovers and storage: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze in a freezer-friendly bag or container for up to 1 month. To thaw, remove from the freezer into the refrigerator for 24 hours. To reheat, cook for 5 minutes on the stove or 2 in the microwave.
Nutrition notes: Nutrition information is an estimate using all listed ingredients except the sourdough bread. This recipe uses all plant-based ingredients the soup is gluten free (choose a gluten free bread for serving).
Recipe inspiration: This recipe is an adaption of the Royal Trumpet Mushroom Cioppino in the Vedge cookbook, the famed plant-based restaurant in Philadelphia. I changed a few ingredients and added garbanzo beans for protein, after making this original version many times over the years.
