Why do I like it?
This soup has a fantastic texture, is rich and creamy without any diary. The ingredients are simple and basic. I made it with raw cashews but you could also swirl in some cashew sour cream or vegan parmesan to finish it off.
Any recipe notes or tweaks?
Made the following swaps - made it without oil, onion for leek, vegetable broth for chicken stock, raw cashews for tahini.
Omitted the spinach and cheese.
*Note - if you want to cook without oil, just heat up the pot first then place your onions and dry sauté, add a splash of water if the vegetables are sticking.
I have recently added in a tablespoon or 2 of fresh lemon juice. It really brightens up the flavor but is optional depending on your individual taste preference.
Regarding salt - the amount you add will depend on the type of vegetable broth you use. I used about 1 teaspoon but my son added an additional half teaspoon when he made it.
