This Creamy Vegan Pesto Soup is perfect for cold rainy days when you need something healthy and nourishing, yet filling.
Creamy Vegan Pesto Soup
I actually made this soup because I had lots of zucchini in the fridge that was about to turn and I added other left over vegetables. This soup is pretty hands off. The vegetables are roasted in the oven and then put together on the stove for the flavors to meld together.
The base of the soup is my kale pesto mixed with some cashew milk to add some creaminess. I added some sausage and ravioli to make it a full meal. Then threw in some amazing gluten free baguettes dressed in olive oil and garlic and you have yourself a full on healthy nourishing meal.
Now go on and have a hunt in the fridge for those veggies and make this soup. It's so versatile that any veggie combo will do.
