This wonderfully luscious and creamy asparagus soup is perfect for the vegetarian or vegan in your life! With no added heavy cream or cheese, you'd be surprised at how decadent this soup is. It's all thanks to the cashews, which after a long soak and a blend, lend a heavenly creaminess that doesn't compare. Even the meat-lover in your home will love this one. Would you like some cheese on that? Add two tablespoons of grated Parmigiano Reggiano for an extra bit of magic.
