for croutons

Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, evenly drizzle the olive oil over the tempeh cubes. Then evenly sprinkle the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper over the tempeh. Toss gently until well-combined.
Spread the tempeh cubes out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake until golden, turning once halfway through cooking to brown all sides of the croutons. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the cubes, so watch to make sure they do not burn. It about 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 4 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and dried basil and cook for 1 more minute or until fragrant.
Add the tomatoes and their juices, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, broth, coconut milk, salt, pepper, and maple syrup. Cover and bring to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes.

Bring soup back to a simmer over medium heat until warmed. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Stir occasionally until desired consistency is reached.
Tip: More maple syrup to balance the acidity.
Tip: More coconut milk for more creaminess.

Divide the soup between bowls. Garnish with fresh basil and croutons.
