Silky smooth, nutritious and delicious, this is healthy, comfort food at it’s best!

I haven’t had a cream-based soup in ages.

The funny thing is that because I have such major texture issues, I always thought I just didn’t like those creamy soups.  What I now realize is that I just didn’t like the actual “cream” that was added to the soup!

This is life changing, people!

I was so excited when I first saw Silk’s new Protein and Nut Milk. I use Silk’s Almond and Cashew milk daily in my smoothies and overnight oats.  But this one REALLY intrigued me.

First off, there is 10 grams of plant-based protein in a serving.

That’s huge.

But what is so interesting about this milk, this protein is 100% from yellow peas! Good old, pant-based ingredients.  This is what I like to see.  This is perfect for those with dairy allergies while providing all of the essential amino acids. Added bonus points that it’s non-GMO too!

I couldn’t wait to create a recipe. My first thought was a creamy soup. First, because I haven’t had a creamy soup in ages (read above) and second, since the protein in this milk was derived from peas, it just sounded perfect to make a soup!

And to stick withy new year’s goals, I wanted to create a simple recipe that could be done in under 30 minutes.  I want to stay organized in 2017 but I am keeping it real and admitting I don’t have time for crazy long, elaborate recipes.

I started off with a little olive oil, onions, celery and carrots and sautéed them until soft.

Next I added simple Italian seasonings and sliced mushrooms.

Next I simply added the remaining ingredients (except the spinach) and let it simmer.

I added the spinach, stirred it a few times and just like that, a creamy, nutritious soup is ready to be devoured!

And the most important part? I LOVED IT! This has restored my faith in creamy soups! Now we don’t need to use heavy cream.  We save a ton of calories and I don’t miss that dairy one bit.

This soup is also grain-free and vegan.  But go ahead and customize it however you’d like.  You can simply add two sliced grilled chicken breasts and 1/2 cup pasta, rice or quinoa if you’d like.  The possibilities are endless now that I have my new favorite, creamy soup!

    I love cream soups, but my biggest complaint is that they’re so… well… creamy. This soup is the total opposite of that, what with all those big beautiful chunky vegetables. Looks like a perfect weekday dinner!

    Oh my goodness this looks absolutely incredible. I LOVE all of Silk’s products and the fact that the protein comes from peas. Our family tries to limit our dairy intake and we all love soup so this delicious soup is a no-brainer. I cannot wait to make this for my family. Looks soooo good on a cold snowy day.
