On our last trip to NYC we were given a tinny free sample of a delicious soup that my husband liked it so much he asked for the ingredients. When we came back home, he insisted I should try to reproduce it and this is the result: a creamy delicious zucchini, cashew and thyme soup. My version of that little sip in Bryant Park.
Zucchini, cashew, thyme soup! With just four ingredients it couldn’t be any easier. It is quite impressive how the cashews give a silky flavor just as if it was regular cream. And the thyme makes this soup so so interesting! Make sure to add all the thyme (or more if you like!) the recipe calls for, otherwise you will miss the star flavor of the soup.
I recommend not adding all the boiling water when blending the soup. Save some on the side and add it if needed. The zucchini absorbs a lot of water when cooked and you can end up with a very liquid soup.
A silky, creamy, delicious soup made with just four ingredients: zucchini, cashews, onion and thyme. Extremely easy to put together. Extremely healthy. Oh! And vegan!!
Ingredients
Scale
3 medium to large zucchinis
1 medium onion
1 cup raw cashews
3 fresh thyme spears
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
Salt
Pepper
Instructions
Soak the cashews in boiling water while you prepare the soup.
Cut the zucchini and onion in big chunks.
In a big pot add enough water to cover the zucchini and onion. Add the thyme spears. Let boil for 15 min.
Transfer the zucchini, onion and thyme leaves from the spears (discard the thick stem) to a blender with some, but not all the water. Reserve the remaining cooking water.
Add cashews, salt, pepper and 1 tbsp of thyme leaves and blend.
Adjust seasoning and consistency with the remaining water.
Yammy and delicious! Hubby loved this one as well.
