On-The-Go Zucchini and Cashew Soup

I’m not your “typical” nutritionist. It’s not a big secret; I don’t really enjoy cooking. Well…it’s not that I don’t enjoy cooking itself but rather the required amount of time it takes to cook a meal. Frankly, my schedule is just too busy to shave out an hour every evening to make an elaborate dish. Thankfully, I know I’m not alone! Many people have obstacles that can get in the way of cooking, such as kids or late work shifts. No matter what my schedule is like, I don’t let my lack of time get in the way of my health and you don’t have to either.

That’s why when I came across this recipe years ago, I knew I had found a hit. Better yet, this dish is vegan-friendly and packed with vitamin C and B6. With only about 10 minutes of prep time and a few easy ingredients, you may also be making space for this one in your cookbook.
