    How to make

    You’ll need to start by soaking your cashews to soften them up. Details on how to do this can be found below.

    Next, chop the onion, garlic, celery, carrots, and potatoes.

    In a pot or a deep pan, saute the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery for about 10 minutes.

    Next, you will mix in all of the seasoning ingredients and add the chopped potatoes.

    Pour in the broth, cover your pot with a lid, then simmer for about 20 minutes.

    While the soup is simmering you will blend the cashews and water.

    After 20 minutes of simmering, add the frozen corn and the cashew sauce and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.

    Tips for this vegan potato soup

    • Chop the ingredients into fairly small pieces so they cook faster. This also makes the soup easier to eat.
    • Make sure you soak your cashews so that they will blend into a smooth cashew sauce. If you don’t soak them first, they may end up chunky, and you don’t want chunks of cashews in your soup! This may not be an issue if you have a high-powered blender, but if you aren’t sure, I suggest soaking your cashews just in case your blender can’t handle them.
    • To soak your cashews quickly: Boil some water in an electric kettle. Place the cashews in a bowl, then pour the boiled water over the cashews, covering them completely. Place a plate on top of the bowl to trap the heat and let the cashews soak for about 20 minutes.

    Adjustments

    • After cooking the soup, add some more salt and pepper if desired.
    • Add a bit more broth if you prefer a thinner soup.
