Method
Cover the cashews with hot water and leave them for 15 minutes (skip this with a very strong blender).
15 min
Dice the onion and cook it in a pot with 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of water over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until soft.
5 min
Add the sliced mushrooms and the salt and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring, until they shrink and colour lightly; add a splash of water if anything sticks.
9 min
Pour in the water and simmer for 10 minutes.
10 min
Drain the cashews, add them to the pot and blend until completely smooth (careful with the hot soup: blend in batches or use a stick blender).
2 min
Reheat, taste for salt, and serve topped with sprouts and sliced almonds, with a slice of whole wheat bread on the side.
Tips
- Browning the mushrooms well before adding the water gives the deepest flavour.
- Thin the soup with a little hot water if it thickens on standing.
Notes
Our version of a soup Ely ate at BIOrganic Raw Café in Chișinău, which serves it with whole wheat bread.
