Sam
Would it be ok to add a diced potato in the soup?

In reply to Chantelle Curtis. Hi Chantelle! Yes a white bean should work very well. The soup will have a slightly less creamy feel to it but it will still be delicious, enjoy!

This recipe looks delicious! If I wanted to omit the cashews would a white bean work instead for creaminess? Thank you!

This was delicious and pretty easy to make. I only have a small food processor so I whizzed up the cashews, roasted garlic, sauteed onion etc in that before adding to the pot with the broth and mixing it in. It worked well!

In reply to LBk. I would do one and a half times (so 6 heads total). I hope that helps!

What a wonderful soup! I'm not vegan and never thought of cashews as anything but a nut--what a fabulous cream for the soup it is... Wow!

Do you have any suggestions for alternatives for people who have a cashew allergy?

If I have small heads of garlic, should I double the amount?

My new FAVORITE soup!
So creamy, flavorful and delicious (even my non-vegan husband loved it, went back for seconds, and said, "Mark it 5 stars!")

Made the recipe exactly as written. My cashews took more than 15min to soften, about 20min. Otherwise everything turned out as you said. Delicious! Will make again for sure.

Wow Sam, what a soup! It didn't go so well with the grandkids, but the grownups devoured it all! Definitely a recipe for keeps! Thnx.

In reply to Paul. We love that! Yes, it would make a great base and we can't wait to hear how you use it through the winter.

One of the best homemade soups I’ve ever had! I roasted an extra bulb of garlic to throw in(I overbought and had some I needed to use up), and even with the added garlic, the flavor was not overpowering at all.

The recipe is perfect exactly as it is, but the cream base would be wonderful in so many things - I’m betting a cream of broccoli or some kind of a chowder would be great using this as a template. As we head into the winter months, I’m definitely going to be making this again and again.

I can’t wait for I try some more recipes from the cookbook this came from. As soon as I finish writing this, I’m ordering a copy.

In reply to Debbie Lee. Yes that should work just fine! You can add as little or as much you prefer, if it is packed tight probably 1/2-1cup.

Can frozen spinach or kale be substituted? If so, how much?

I made this recipe today and luscious is a perfect way to describe this soup! I added potatoes and a splash of mirin. Thank you Sam for another lovely and creative recipe.

In reply to kme. Thank you so much! That note was just a typo. But for a substitution try raw sunflower seeds. :)

This recipe looks amazing! Thanks Sam!!

Did you mean to put a note in about the raw cashews(there is a "see notes" by cashews in ingredient list)? Maybe a possible substitution? which would be great for my tree nut allergic daughter! If so, I don't see it.

Will definitely be making this! Thanks again!
