Creamy and Rich Cashew Potato Soup
Make a Delicious Potato Soup with Cashews for a Satisfying Meal
Let’s make a hearty potato soup with cashews that’s perfect for a quick and filling breakfast or a light meal. This recipe is designed to be simple yet nourishing, providing a comforting and satisfying experience.
Ingredients- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 cup cashews (standard paper cup size)
- 5 cups kelp and shiitake mushroom broth
- 1 medium onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To save time, prepare the kelp and shiitake mushroom broth in advance. Soak dried kelp and shiitake mushrooms in water overnight. The mushrooms can be reserved for other dishes.
Step 2
The cashews are key to achieving a wonderfully creamy texture. Soak the cashews in about 1 cup of the prepared kelp and shiitake mushroom broth for about 20 minutes until softened. Once soaked, combine the cashews and the broth in a mini blender and process until very smooth. This step ensures a luxurious, velvety soup.
Step 3
Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm). Cutting them uniformly will help them cook evenly.
Step 4
Place the cut potatoes and the peeled and roughly chopped onion into a pot. Add the remaining 4 cups of kelp and shiitake mushroom broth. Season with salt to your taste. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer until the potatoes are very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 5
Check if the potatoes are fork-tender; they should mash easily. Once the potatoes are fully cooked, pour in the blended cashew mixture. Stir well and let it simmer for another few minutes until the soup reaches your desired consistency.
Step 6
Your creamy and rich cashew potato soup is now ready! Serve hot and enjoy this comforting dish.
Step 7
Tip: For an even smoother soup, you can blend the cooked potatoes directly in the pot with an immersion blender before adding the cashew mixture. Please be mindful of cashew allergies; if you or someone you know has a cashew allergy, consider omitting them or using a small amount of alternative nuts or seeds.
