Ingredients
  

  • 1 c. cashews, soaked
  • 1 large sweet onion
  • 1 shallot
  • 3 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 6 large russet potatoes, chopped (I prefer not to peel mine)
  • 7 c. vegetable broth

Instructions
 

  • Place the cashews in a medium size bowl. Boil a small pot of water, and pour over the cashews. Set aside for about an hour.
  • Heat a large soup pot over medium, add the onion and shallot, and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the carrots and celery along with the spices, stirring well. Cook for an additional minute or two.
  • Add the potatoes and broth, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium low, and cook for 20 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender.
  • Rinse and drain the cashews and place in a high powered blender or Vitamix. Add 1 c. water, and blend well.
  • Using an immersion blender (or slowly and very carefully pouring the soup into a regular blender), blend the soup as smooth as you'd like (I like it blended all the way - it comes out nice and creamy). Then, stir in the cashew sauce. And enjoy the best potato soup ever!
