When time is of the essence, this speedy soup recipe comes to the rescue. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s a flavorful and nutritious solution for a busy day.

The Magic of Roasted Garlic

Whole roasted garlic takes center stage in this recipe, bringing an unparalleled depth of flavor to the table. Its rich, caramelized goodness is simply irresistible.

A Harmonious Blend of Vegetables

This carefully crafted combination of spinach, zucchini, red onions, scallions, parsley, and celery strikes the perfect balance. Feel free to add more spinach if you’re feeling extra green!

Creamy Cashews: The Secret to Smoothness

Cashews are the game-changer in this vegan soup, providing a luxurious creaminess. If you’re lucky enough to have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, you’ll be rewarded with a silky-smooth texture. Otherwise, a rustic, chunky result is still delightful.

Nut-Free Alternative

For those with nut allergies or preferences, simply stir in 1/4 cup of rolled oats during cooking. This clever substitute blends seamlessly into the soup.
