  1. This is actually VEGAN! No animal based ingredients! So great! Perfectly good for a vegan diet too, as the cashews provide protein. I think it would be even better, with the addition of parsley & fresh chives or onion tops. I like using onion tops rather than the onion bulbs. The taste is milder, and the green color adds color to dishes.
     
  2. Love this! Coincidentally, I'd just invented and posted a recipe for cashew-carrot hummus. The flavors of these two ingredients are so tasty together. A keeper!
     
  3. So simple to make- so healthy! So yummy! I love it! All I have to do is learn not to burn the cashews :-) I am a cilantro fan so I loved that addition. Also, 4 oz of cashews by weight seemed like a huge amount, so I assumed it to be 1/2 cup. That worked very well. Thanks for this one!
     
  4. Hey, mickeydownunder, here's our 100th review! This soup is good stuff! :) I added garlic with the onion & thought about adding chili too, but thought I'd wait n' see how it turned out first......absolutely YUM, that's how! We had roasted, un-salted cashews on hand, so didn't need to worry about roasting/toasting them & just crushed them with the Bamix & mixed it into the hot soup. We did add some hot chili powder to our bowls & found a winner! Thanks for sharing, mickeydownunder :)
     
  5. Heart warming soup. I added the cashews but as the other reviewer pointed out next time I will give them a miss. I followed the instructions and ingredients as listed except I did not puree the soup it is lovely to see the carrots. I added the finely chopped cashews just 5 minutes before serving. Lovely filling, healthy soup Thanks Mickeydownunder for posting
