Preparation

Step 1

Saute the Earth Balance, onions, celery and carrots in a large pot for 5-7 minutes, until the veggies are soft.

Stir in the basil, thyme, sea salt, garlic powder and black pepper.

Stir in the all-purpose flour and let the mixture cook for one minute.

Add in the soy milk, soy creamer and vegetable broth.

Stir continuously until the soup reaches a simmer

Stir in the chicken, potatoes, corn and peas.

Allow the soup to simmer, stirring occasionally for 35 minutes. The soup will thicken as it cooks.

Remove the soup from the heat and let it sit for another 10 minutes.

To make the crust, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and break your crust into pieces.

Bake the pieces for approximately 10 minutes, or until the edges brown.

Serve some crust in each bowl of soup.
