White Miso Vegetable Soup [Vegan]

White root vegetables are cooked with creamy almond milk until soft and then puréed until smooth. Miso is added in just before puréeing to give it a comforting umami flavor and a sprinkle of chopped almonds and fresh herbs adds presentation, taste, and texture. This smooth and creamy soup is just what you need on those rainy spring days.
