Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced

• 2 leeks, white and light green parts, sliced

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup cashews, soaked in water for 4 hours

• 4 cups vegetable broth

• 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon thyme, dried

• 1 teaspoon rosemary, dried

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Fresh chives for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cashews: Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. In a blender, combine cashews with 1 cup of vegetable broth. Blend until smooth and set aside.

2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, leeks, and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and aromatic.

3. Add Potatoes and Herbs: Incorporate diced potatoes, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the potatoes in the herb-infused aroma.

4. Pour in Broth: Pour in the remaining vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender.

5. Blend the Mixture: Using an immersion blender or transferring to a regular blender in batches, blend the soup until smooth and creamy.

6. Incorporate Cashew Cream: Pour in the cashew cream and almond milk, stirring continuously. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper according to your preference.

8. Serve: Ladle the creamy potato and leek soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh chives for a burst of color and added freshness.

9. Enjoy: Indulge in the luxurious, herb-infused goodness of this velvety soup. Perfect for cozy evenings and impressing guests with its elegant, plant-based sophistication.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, you can roast the potatoes before adding them to the soup.

• If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches.

• You can also use other herbs in this soup, such as parsley, basil, or oregano.

• This soup is gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
