I was working on my Winter Soup Series and got so carried away that I ended up with one more, after I put together the recipes. I JUST made this tonight (it’s actually a rainy day here in LA!) and it was incredible. So creamy, decadent and yummy! REALLY hard to believe it’s vegan! This soup is great without cashews (if you want a nut free soup or don’t have cashews!) and truffle oil BUT… I have to tell you (because I made it BOTH ways!), this soup is EXCEPTIONAL using both! My NEW FAVORITE soup! Also, using the Vitamix to blend it up (versus an Immersion blender) REALLY made it light and airy. SOOOO yummy! I plan to serve it to guests the next time I have people over for dinner! It’s THAT good! 🙂

Hope you enjoy!
