- Add the cashews, nutritional yeast, soy milk, and two cups of the soup to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. *
- Pour the blended mixture into the soup pot and continue heating until warm through.
Notes
* For a nut free soup, substitute the cashews and soy milk with coconut cream or coconut milk. Or thicken the soup with a bit of flour or cornstarch mixed with water.
