This creamy, cozy soup contains no dairy, making it ideal for vegan diners. Fresh carrots, garlic and cashews are pureed in vegetable stock to give the soup its silky texture, and honey, ginger, allspice and garlic boost flavor. The combination adds up to a nutritious bowl of soup that cooks up in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Soup
1¾ tsp. olive oil
1¾ oz. yellow onion, in ¼-in. dice
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1¾ tsp. peeled, minced gingerroot
1/8 tsp. ground allspice
12 oz. carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 pt. + ¼ cup low-sodium vegetable stock
1 oz. dry roasted unsalted cashews
1 1/8 tsp. honey
½ tsp. kosher salt
1/8 tsp. ground white pepper
Garnishes
1 ¼ oz. carrots, shredded
1 tbsp. + 2 ½ tsp. chopped dry roasted unsalted cashews
