You can substitute some of the foods as needed. Try using oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, chicken broth, garlic powder, peanuts, tarragon, parsley, yellow onion, shallots, and olive oil.

The first step to follow before you do anything else is to soak the cashews in water for at least half an hour. This will allow them to get softer and creamier, making your soup taste better.

While you may find cashews to be a weird combination with mushrooms, the truth is, they are great together. On one hand, mushrooms are dense, earthy, and umami, but they also add a nutty aftertaste. Cashews taste milder, creamy, and nutty, but they are rich as well.

Unlike other nuts and even some fruits, cashews are relatively low in fat. They also contain some protein, fiber, copper, magnesium, manganese, zinc, phosphorus, iron, selenium, thiamin, vitamin K, and vitamin B6.

You can obtain vitamin D, B vitamins, selenium, potassium, magnesium, and tons of fiber from mushrooms. You will also add powerful antioxidants to your tasty and creamy soup.

The rest of the ingredients in this soup all provide extra vitamins and minerals, but also lots of flavors.

Try making this soup in just a few minutes and enjoy it for days to come!
