About the Recipe

This beautifully bright red soup is a staple in the postpartum kitchen - rich in iron, deeply warming and grounding to support healing and bonding after pregnancy and birth. The addition of bone broth aids with tissue repair, while also providing essential minerals to ensure mum’s stores are replete. This has been a favourite in our postpartum meal packages - because not only is it nourishing, but it tastes delicious too!

Directions

This beautifully bright red soup is a staple in the postpartum kitchen. 

  1. Bring the bone broth to the boil over high heat.

  3. Meanwhile, drain the soaked cashews and add to a food processor with the juice of half a lemon. Blend until smooth - you may need to add small amounts of water to achieve your desired texture.
