Instructions
- In a large soup pot or pressure cooker, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and stir for 2 minutes, careful not to let the leeks brown.
- Add crushed garlic and celery. Stir and cook for 3 more minutes or until celery starts to soften. Add salt, pepper, thyme, and cauliflower. Stir and mix ingredients well.
- Add vinegar and water to cover cauliflower (more water may be added if needed) so water is covering about 1/2 inch above vegetables. Cover pot and cook over medium-low for about 20-25 minutes, or until cauliflower is soft. If using pressure cooker, cover and cook for 5-6 minutes.
- When cauliflower is soft, add the fresh tarragon and parsley, stir. Remove 1 cup of soup from the pot and add it to a blender with the cashews. Add some more of the soup to the blender and puree until smooth. Pour out pureed soup into a clean pot. Continue to puree the soup in batches until all is blended. Stir to combine cashew cream with rest of the soup. Add more water for a thinner consistency.
