The fact that up until now I have never had cashew soup of any description is a big mistake on my part. Cashews are one of my favourite things in the world, and now so is this soup.
The texture and flavour of this soup will rest entirely on how well you toast and blend your cashews. For the best flavour, have the nuts evenly toasted to your desired level. For me, that's when they begin releasing their lovely aroma. Be careful not to toast them too long or the soup will have a burnt taste. The finer you ground the nuts, the smoother your soup will be.
This soup also carries a bit of heat – if you don't like spicy foods, feel free to reduce or even omit the curry powder.

Interesting combination of nut and vegetables! Will be saving it for a cold day 🙂
Really great recipe – Thank you!!! We couldn’t find mint this time of year, so I substituted cilantro and it tasted great. Raw crushed garlic was too strong for me in the yogurt. May sauté or forgo next time around.
Oh cilantro sounds like a wonderful substitution! The garlic is definitely a matter of taste. Sautéing is such a great way to dull the flavour and always makes garlic nice and creamy — what a wonderful idea!
