Ingredients

  • 1 Yellow Onion chopped
  • ½ Cup Arborio Rice
  • 4 Teaspoons Finely Chopped Garlic
  • ½ Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 6 Cups Vegetable Broth
  • ¾ Cup Cashews
  • ¾ Cup Non-Dairy Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 15 Ounce Can of Chickpeas
  • 3 Cups Baby Arugula
  • ½ Cup Fresh Parsley
  • ¼ Cup Fresh Dill

Instructions

  • Soak the cashews in boiling water.
  • In a large pot, sauté the onion over medium heat, using a tablespoon or two of the vegetable broth as the cooking liquid if needed. Allow the onion to soften, around 6 minutes.
  • Stir in the rice, garlic, and hot pepper flakes. Cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the broth, then bring to a boil. Reduce to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the chickpeas to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, drain the cashews and add them to a food processor, along with the non-dairy milk and lemon juice. Puree until smooth.
  • While the soup is still on the heat, stir in the arugula. Cook a minute more.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cashew yogurt cream, parsley, and dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with additional herbs. Enjoy!
