Creamy, dreamy, comforting, and soooo delicious! If you love creamy meals, you definitely have to give this creamy pasta soup a try. The recipe is vegan, gluten-free, and very easy to make.

White Creamy Pasta Soup

I love all kind of soups, I really do, however, I really adore the creamy ones! They are just so comforting, satisfying, and delicious! Most non-vegan white cream soups contain lots of heavy cream and/or cream cheese which makes them pretty unhealthy in my opinion. You won’t find these ingredients in my creamy pasta soup. I used a combination of white cannellini beans and cashews to make this chowder extraordinary creamy, healthy, protein-rich, and yummy!

Which Other Veggies Can I Use?

This creamy pasta soup contains different veggies such as broccoli, carrot, celery, onion, and garlic. Veggies are important for our health and we shouldn’t forget to eat them. Furthermore, they add a nice flavor to this white cream soup. Many kids don’t like eating veggies (which I understand because I didn’t like most veggies either as a kid) but paired with this creamy soup they won’t really taste them! You can also choose your favorite veggies, for example, zucchini or cauliflower. Sweet potato could be a great addition as well!

Which Pasta For This Vegan Pasta Soup?

I used gluten-free pasta for this recipe, however, you can use regular pasta instead. Any shape is fine, I really loved this curly pasta though which reminds me of lasagna sheets! So cute, isn’t it?! You can, of course, use lasagna sheets if you like. I think tortellini would be also amazing and very tasty! If you aren’t the biggest fan of pasta, why not try making this creamy soup with gnocchi? Definitely check out my easy homemade gnocchi recipe which is vegan AND gluten-free.

Creamy Pasta Soup With Beans and Cashews

As mentioned before, I used cashews and cannellini beans to make this vegan vegetable soup super creamy and smooth. Not only will the beans add a great creaminess, but they also contain healthy plant-based protein.

If you want to make this white vegan soup nut-free then use hemp seeds! I made this noodle soup in different versions while I was recipe testing and actually used hemp seeds the first time. Hemp seeds are lower in fat than cashews, they contain important omega-3 fatty acids and are furthermore nut-free. So they are a really great alternative to cashews. Both are delicious though!

Also, if you don’t have a powerful blender (and the cashews never really turn out smooth and creamy), don’t worry because I have the solution for you: Simply use cashew butter instead of cashews. Problem solved!

Easy And Quick Vegan Noodle Soup Recipe
