Roast Carrot Soup with Cashews and Chilli – Vegan

Roast Carrot Soup with Cashews and Chilli - Vegan
Serves 2
This brilliant combo blows the classic carrot & coriander combo out of the water. Also works a dream with pumpkin or squash in place of the carrots – swap 1 medium-sized squash/pumpkin for the 8 carrots. Produce from Perry Court Farm and Planta Health Food Shop on Westow Hill.
