Do you love soup season as much as I do!?
A dietitian friend of mine shared this clean and comforting veggie soup recipe with me last year. ff you’ve been over-indulging or stress eating during quarantine, this soup is the perfect way to help you get back on track!
Cashew cream (cashews pureed with water) is blended with immune-boosting broccoli, lentils, cashews, onions, carrots, celery and spinach. This results in the healthiest and most delicious and creamy soup ever! It’s also vegan and gluten-free.
Drizzle a bowl with a bit of olive oil and serve with a big green salad or a piece of whole grain bread. Trust me, you feel so nourished and wholesome, you’ll be inspired to make other good-for-you lifestyle changes too!
