Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 8 cups spinach
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 cup cashews. Cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant and cashews are lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add 8 cups spinach and 4 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. (Or blend in batches in a regular blender.)

  5. 5

    Stir in 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with extra cashews or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
