When it comes to soup, you want something hearty and warming that's not to complicated but still tastes amazing! This soup really is something; with a luxurious creaminess created both from the cashew nuts and cauliflower, creating a perfect soup for a cold and rainy day. I used my nutribullet for this recipe, so I blended up the cashew nuts whilst raw as I did not want to wait for the liquid to cool to be able to blend it, only to then re-heat the soup afterwards. I would recommend using a high speed blender to ensure the mixture is blended well; if not - soak the cashew nuts in water for 30 minutes prior to blending. I used romanesco cauliflower (the pretty one that looks like treetops) in this recipe, but feel free to sub this for regular cauliflower or broccoli, as supermarkets generally don't stock this type of cauli. This soup is also great for when you're feeling under the weather, like my friend Hazel at the moment; so I hope this makes you feel better Hazel!
