Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Lightly grease a saucepan with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, and coriander, and sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

02

Step
15 mins

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the red lentils. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape, about 15 minutes.

03

Step
0 mins

While the lentils are simmering, blend the lemon juice and raw cashews in a food processor or high-speed blender until completely smooth and creamy.

04

Step
5 mins

Stir the cashew cream, spinach, and fresh parsley into the lentil mixture. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through, about 5 minutes more. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

For an even richer flavor, try using roasted vegetable broth.
A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a delightful warmth.
Garnish with an extra swirl of cashew cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.
