Protein-rich cashews, sweet pineapple, gold potatoes, and bourbon flavor this deliciously different cream soup.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cashews, chopped
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups strong vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
  • 5 fluid ounces half and half cream
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch blended with 2 teaspoons water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley for garnish

Preparation:

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add red onions and toss to coat. Gently saute onions until soft, about 3 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic and saute 2 additional minutes.

Place onions and garlic in a blender or food processor along with cashews. Process until smooth.

Pour cashew puree into a large, deep saucepan. Add pineapple, gold potatoes, vegetable broth, bourbon, cream, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.

Add cornstarch to the soup, stirring constantly, until thickened. Sprinkle each serving with chopped parsley and serve hot with garlic bread.

Yield: 4 servings
