Instructions
Cashew Cream
- If you do not have a high powdered blender, you will need to either soak the cashews overnight, or boil for 15-20 minutes.
- Once you are ready to make the soup, make the cashew cream first. Drain the cashews and add all of the the cashew cream ingredients to a blender. Blend of the ingredients together until the texture is very smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. This may take a few minutes. Once smooth, set aside.
Lasagna Soup
- In a large pot, add the onion and garlic. Add in a tablespoon or two of water as needed to prevent veggies from sticking to the pot. Saute for 5-10 minutes, until the onions and garlic begin to caramelize.
- Next, add in the lemon juice and scrape off any bits of garlic or onion from the pot.
- Add in the remaining veggies, veggie broth, Italian seasoning, nutritional yeast and maple syrup to the pot.
- Add the cashew cream to the pot. Stir to combine all ingredients.
- Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, break up the lasagna noodles into 2 inch pieces. Add the noodles to the soup.
- Simmer, stirring frequently, until the noodles are al dente. Check the package for timing instructions.
- Once the noodles are done, adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt and pepper. Serve immediately. I like to add spinach to my bowl and ladle soup over it. Enjoy!
