Instruction
- Put the cashews in a bowl, cover with water and a thin cloth and allow to soak for 2 - 4 hours. Drain, rinse thoroughly.
- Chop the asparagus and put it, the chicken broth, and the pre-soaked cashews in a Vitamix or other high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth. Continue with the machine on High speed until the soup is hot, about 7 minutes
