Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and garlic, cooking until soft.

  3. Once cooked, blend the soup with an immersion blender or in batches until smooth.
  4. Stir in the cashew cream and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with chives if desired.

Notes

  1. This soup freezes well and is great for leftovers. For a richer flavor, add a splash of melted butter before serving.
