Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup unsalted cashews
2 cups water
1/2 cup low sodium vegetable broth
1 to 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small leek
3 cloves garlic (minced)
3 carrots (peeled and sliced into about 1/4-inch slices)
3 ribs celery (sliced into about 1/4-inch slices)
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms (sliced (or about 227 grams))
1 small sweet potato (cut into small cubes (about size of a dice))
1 teaspoon salt (divided )
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (divided)
1.5 teaspoons Herbes de Provence
2 bay leaves
3/4 cup long grain and wild rice blend (rinsed (see "Notes" below))
7 cups low sodium vegetable broth (divided (more if you want a looser or thinner consistency))
4 handfuls baby spinach (about 3 or 4 loosely packed cups)

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.
