Chef’s Tips:
** Chef Katie’s Curry Spice Tip: I opt for a trusted spice brand, like Frontier Co-op, which uses minimal added salt and no weird preservatives or fake colors.
* Chef Katie’s Oil-Free Tips: To ensure a 100% oil-free recipe, be sure to use dry roasted cashews. You can double-check the ingredients list to make sure there’s no oil list. Or, you can roast your own cashews: Spread raw cashews on a baking sheet and roast at 350F for 7-8 minutes, until aromatic and golden brown.
** Chef Katie’s Curry Spice Tip: I opt for a trusted spice brand, like Frontier Co-op, which uses minimal added salt and no weird preservatives or fake colors. You can make your own curry blend from scratch with a mix of: fenugreek, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and cayenne (or red pepper).
Want to make it RAW?
For a raw version of this recipe, swap out the roasted cashews for raw cashews. Instead of simmering everything, simply soak the cashews in water overnight, to soften them. Then, to make the soup, place everything in a blender and puree until smooth.
