This is a brand new recipe in our home, and one that will certainly be added to our favorite’s list. Packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C, this soup is not only healthy, but delicious. It offered a new flavor for us, with the combination of cauliflower to cashew cream sauce. The aroma of the herbs is also a lovely scent as it fills our home, and the combination of the fresh herbs is the perfect addition.

The texture of this soup is also particularly nice as we are entering spring, and desire a lighter soup rather than a stew. We paired it with steamed kale, but it would be wonderful paired with a fresh kale salad. We also added roasted pumpkin seeds to top our soup, and enjoyed avocado on the side as well.
Vegan, gluten-free
Serves 6 to 8
As we are now fully into the Spring season, I know we are already thinking more about outdoor gatherings with friends and family. This soup is one we will certainly add to our menu. It would be delightful served as an appetizer before the main dish, or as the meal for a lighter option.
