Vegan Spinach Artichoke Soup

Hello & Happy Thursday!

I don’t know about you, but I’m all about everything spinach and artichoke! Lately I’ve been on a mission to explore as many concepts to feature this classic combo as I find that it’s typically just used as a heavy dip. However, there is so much more you can do with spinach and artichokes, and just like that, I envisioned creating a fab vegan Spinach Artichoke Soup!

When it comes to soup, I’ll be honest, I typically only enjoy it at home & made from scratch. If I’m at a restaurant I’m paranoid about everything they put into it and the endless sodium content. The silver lining is that it’s just more of an excuse to explore endless soup concepts!

With the warmer temperatures around the corner I decided to whip up this spinach artichoke soup! Surprisingly enough there wasn’t a ton of recipes online for this concept. Instead of looking at that like this isn’t a ground breaking concept, I find that its an opportunity to create something magical!

What’s fab about this recipe, is simply everything! This soup has minimal ingredients, is veggie packed, packed with flavor, features easy to find canned or frozen ingredients, it’s easy, creamy, affordable, perf for every season, can be made in minutes, can be made in bulk, perf for entertaining, has aesthetic appeal, and is just a game changing recipe!
