This Creamy Vegetable Soup is silky smooth, nutritious, simple to make and delicious. This tasty creamy vegetable soup is healthy, comfort food at it's best!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Silk. The opinions and text are all mine.
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!
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.
Why You Should Make This Creamy Vegetable Soup
First off, there is 10 grams of plant-based protein in a serving. It can be difficult for those who follow a vegan diet to get enough protein in their daily diet so this is crucial.
But what is so interesting about this milk, this protein is 100% from yellow peas! Good old, pant-based ingredients.
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 which means that it's free from chemicals, preservatives or toxins that can potentially be life-threatening for the body over the long term.
I couldn't wait to create a recipe. 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 plant-based soup!
Go ahead and customize this creamy vegetable soup however you'd like. You can simply add two sliced grilled chicken breasts and ½ cup pasta, rice or quinoa if you'd like.
If you like soups you need to also try my Slow Cooker Thai Curried Chicken Soup, Creamy Cauliflower Soup and Quinoa Vegetable Soup.
Also, my Pumpkin Cornbread and Spicy Cornbread Stuffed with Cheese would be wonderful to dip in any of these soups.
How to Make This Creamy Vegetable Soup
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.
Recipe FAQ's and Expert Tips
Absolutely. You can easily add 1 pound of cooked shredded chicken before you add the broth and almond milk.
Yes it most definitely will. I like to put in a saucepan on the stove for a few minutes while stirring well. When the soup is being stored in an airtight container, it may separate a but so stirring well is important.
Yes you can definitely leave out the spinach, or you can substitute with kale or another leafy green if she will eat that.
