This hearty plant-based soup gets its velvety creaminess from the addition of tahini, or sesame seed butter. Nut and seed butters can be added to a variety of applications to help thicken or enhance the mouthfeel of a dish. Try stirring a tablespoon or two of your favourite seed or nut butter to sauces, salad dressings, or smoothies.

Nut free? No problem!
You can always substitute the same amount of your favourite seed for the walnuts in this recipe. Pumpkin, hemp, and sunflower all work wonderfully here.
