Steps:
- To a small saucepan, add cashews and 2 cups of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until cashews have softened. Drain and rinse. In a blender, blend cashews with 1/2 cup of vegetable broth and nutritional yeast until smooth (stop to scrape sides of blender, as necessary). Set aside.Note: A high-powered blender works best here for the smoothest consistency. Note: If you'd rather not use the cashew cream, you can omit OR stir in 1 cup of half-and-half or heavy cream instead.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add leek and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Add carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring often.
- Add sweet potato, 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper, and Herbes de Provence. Stir to combine.
- Add bay leaves, rice, and 7 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat (to about medium-low heat) to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until veggies and rice are cooked. Remove bay leaves and discard.Note: A par-boiled long grain and wild rice blend is used here. My rice cook time was about 15 to 20 minutes. If you use anything that takes a little longer, you may way to add the rice first and then add the vegetables during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cook time so you don't overcook them.
- Uncover and stir in baby spinach until wilted. It will wilt with the heat from the soup.
- Stir in the cashew cream (or half-and-half or heavy cream if you are using dairy), remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine. Serve and enjoy!Note: If you want a looser or thinner consistency, add a little more vegetable broth and heat through.
