Hi Irene. Use raw cashews. Be sure to soak them for 2 hours and then drain them.
Made this with a couple modifications: sautéed the asperagus in some olive oil, added some fresh dill, and doubled the garlic. Came out wonderful. I suggest eating it with some manchego cheese.
I like raw asparagus, I like all the other ingredients too, so I tried this tonight. Such a lovely colour and so thick and creamy. Yuck. We didn’t eat it. A million years from now I might try it again and use chicken broth instead of the water. Fortunately I still have the marinated spear tips to eat, raw. I feed the dog a raw diet and if I can feed raw cashew to him then he’ll get the soup. Must check out whether dogs can eat raw cashew first. I am quite disappointed since I do really like raw asparagus all by itself.
Yum! Just made this with a few changes: I used leftover steamed asparagus, and used 1/4 c of plant-milk instead of cashews. Didn’t have celery seed so I left it out. Came out delicious! Next time I will only use 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 tbsp is quite tangy.
Sadly, Mr. Dog didn’t like it either. Think it upset his tummy. Think Ben, above, is right, maybe cook the asparagus a bit. And my garlic was home grown and very strong; too strong.
Do you need raw or roasted cashews for the recipe?
