Total Time: 4 hrs 10 min
INGREDIENTS
Lemon Cashew Cream
1/3 c plus 2 T raw cashews
1 c water, divided
2 T maple syrup
1½ T freshly squeezed lemon juice
Blueberry Soup
2½ c fresh blueberries, plus 12 to 15 more for garnish
1 c unsweetened nondairy milk
2 T maple syrup
DIRECTIONS
Lemon Cashew Cream
To make the cream, put the cashews and ½ cup water into the refrigerator and let soak for 1 to 4 hours. Drain the cashews and rinse thoroughly in cold water.
Put the soaked cashews, ½ cup water, maple syrup, and lemon juice into a blender and process until very smooth.
Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, until completely cold.
Blueberry Soup
To make the soup, put the blueberries, nondairy milk and maple syrup into a blender and process until smooth.
Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, until completely cold. The soup may separate while it chills, so stir the blueberry soup thoroughly before serving, making certain it becomes a smooth purée again.
To serve, divide the blueberry soup into 4 to 5 small bowls. Swirl some of the cashew cream on top of each soup and garnish with three fresh blueberries.
TIPS
This refreshing, fruity soup is truly an eye-catching, tasty experience. Rich lemony cashew cream is swirled into fresh blueberry purée to make an inviting first-course offering.
The soup may separate while it chills, so stir the blueberry soup thoroughly before serving, making certain it becomes a smooth purée again.
Put the remaining cashew cream in a small pitcher to pass around the table so that diners can add more “cream” to their soup if desired
Tightly covered and refrigerated, leftover Lemon-Cashew Cream will keep for 2 days.
