A mix of savory mushrooms is simmered up with veggies and hearty barley in a silky cashew base to make this rich and indulgent creamy vegan mushroom soup. I’m just going to put this out there: this soup was awesome. This is one of those recipes that I’ve been making some variation of forever, tweaking and perfecting, until it finally reached that point where I had to share it. The original recipe came from my mom’s collection. Back when I moved out of the house, I made a point of copying all of my mom’s favorite recipes down on index

It’s that time of year for soup, hot chocolate, Shepherd’s Pie, and cozy loungewear. And sitting by the fire. Oh, and Netflix. Did I mention I don’t leave my house in the winter? This soup is perfect for cozy, cold winter nights when you’re craving something hearty and comforting yet healthy. Bonus? It requires just 1 pot and around 45 minutes to make!   source: http://minimalistbaker.com/curried-potato-lentil-soup-1-pot/
