Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 cups raw cashews
2 tablespoons raw or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 pounds frozen sugar snap or green peas, thawed
1 tablespoon malt vinegar
Thinly sliced scallions and crushed potato chips (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low. Add onions, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring often and adding a splash or so of water if the bottom of pan gets too brown, until golden brown, 30-40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add cashews, sugar, red pepper flakes, and 3 cups water and bring mixture to a simmer. Cook until vegetables are very soft and losing their structure, 10-15 minutes.
  • Blend one-third of sugar snap peas with one-third of vegetable mixture in a blender, adding some cooking liquid from vegetable mixture as needed to thin, until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Press purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium saucepan; discard solids. Working in 2 batches, repeat with remaining peas and vegetable mixture, adding water as needed if you run out of cooking liquid. If soup is still very thick, thin with water until you get a velvety, pourable consistency. (You should have about 7 cups soup.)
  • Stir vinegar into soup; season with more salt and pepper and warm over medium-low until heated through.
  • Serve soup topped with scallions and potato chips.
  • Do Ahead
  • Soup can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat over medium-low, thinning with water as needed until pourable.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cashews and peas will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cashews, you can use raw cashews that have been soaked in water for at least 4 hours.
  • Roast the cashews before using them: Roasting the cashews will bring out their flavor and make them more creamy. To roast the cashews, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake them at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will help you get a smooth and creamy soup. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the soup in batches.
  • Season the soup to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for a bit of tang.

Conclusion:

Cream of cashew and pea soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. With its creamy texture and nutty flavor, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
