Notes

  • You can easily double this recipe so you can have some extra yummy leftovers for lunch.
  • To reduce creaminess you can blend the cashews with 1/2 cup of water and leave out the coconut milk.
  • Coconut milk and cashews can turn any soup into a cream based soup without the use of dairy. It is a rich and delicious replacement to heavy cream.
