Carrot & Cashew Soup – Creamy and Nourishing
This vegan carrot & cashew soup is a heartwarming blend of sweet carrots, apples, aromatic curry, cashews, and finger. The combination of these ingredients creates a smooth, velvety texture that’s both comforting and flavourful.
The subtle sweetness of the carrots and apple perfectly balances the warmth of the curry and ginger, while the cashews add a creamy depth without the need for dairy. It’s the perfect soup for chilly days and it pairs wonderfully with some crusty bread for a truly satisfying meal.
This recipe makes a nice change from the traditional Carrot & Coriander soup or my Red Lentil and Carrot Coconut Soup.
The cashews lend a wonderfully creamy texture to this soup, allowing you to skip the usual dairy cream while still achieving that rich, velvety feel. Their natural creaminess makes each spoonful smooth and indulgent. Meanwhile, the ginger adds a delightful, slightly spicy kick, giving the soup a warming, invigorating heat that’s perfect for those colder days or when you’re in need of a comforting, soul-soothing meal. The balance of flavours creates a truly satisfying dish, full of warmth and wholesome goodness.

Simple to prepare and delicious. ?
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it !
What can you add when the taste is a bit bland? More curry?
Hi Astrid, maybe you can try a bit more curry or a stronger curry paste. Additional lemon juice will help bring out the flavours. Many thanks for your feedback. Annabelle x
I made this, it’s great, very light and tasty with the ginger, good source of protein with the cashews but is it really 1178 calories?
Cashews are high in calories but they should only come to about 375 calories for the whole thing….. not even per serving!
The calorie count must be an error unless I am missing something.

Hi Jen, So glad you like the soup. The nutrition plugin has gone a little mad lately. Just ran it again for this recipe and it is about 196kcal per serving 🙂 Annabelle x
