All hail the humble cashew, that gives the creaminess to this robust and slightly smoky flavored soup and is also the base of our smoky cashew cream. Once the soup is blended, feel free to bump up the flavor and texture even further by adding your favorite veggies, such as roasted fennel or corn, or beans such as cannellini or navy beans. See the variations for more ideas. Garnish with the smoky cashew cream before serving.
