I find it’s quite easy to stick to a paleo diet if I have a bunch of good paleo recipes up my sleeve.

This is especially true with paleo soup recipes. Why?

Most soups make great leftovers. Soup often tastes better the next day (this soup is no exception!)

I’m usually cooking for one, so making soup guarantees I’ll have several meals worth of leftovers.

If you’re cooking for a crowd, consider doubling this recipe so you can enjoy leftovers.

Creamy And Dairy-Free, Thanks To Cashew Cream

What makes this soup recipe decadent and rich? 

The cashew cream.

Cashew cream makes this soup rich and creamy without dairy. 

To make: Soak a cup of cashews in water at least an hour (or overnight). Drain, place in blender, add 1/2 cup water, and puree until smooth.

Money-Saving Tips For Soup

  • Instead of buying canned or packaged chicken broth, I use chicken bouillon powder mixed with water. This is many times cheaper than buying canned chicken broth.
  • Look for frozen pork sausage. A 1-lb package cost $2.49 at ALDI. Just remember to thaw before starting the soup-making process.
  • Instead of buying individual onions, purchase a bag. This is often much cheaper – and onions last a long time in the fridge’s crisper drawer.
