so far all the recipes that I have wanted to make are made with cashew cream. I am not the only person who is allergic to cashews. Do you have a decent replacement?

I just made this tonight. It's great! I added a potato because I only had about 3.5 cups of carrots. Still tastes good. The cashew cream though isn't exactly cream. I'd call it more "Cashew Liquid." It also tastes rather salty. Should I have reduced the amount of water? I did soak my cashews all day because I was going to make the soup earlier and just ran out of time. I didn't think that would matter though, as I've soaked nuts for longer periods of time when making other items. Anyway, thank you for the inspiration! I had some fennel and had no idea what to do with it.

Just made this and it was really good - none of that bland stuff I normally associate with carrot soup - has to be done with the cashew cream - fab!

This looks so great! Orange and fennel is one of my favorite flavor combinations, but I have never tried them in a soup. I can't wait to try this one out!

In reply to Kimberly. Thanks Kim! Olive oil would work fine. The food processor will take longer and will never get it quite as smooth but with patience you should get it smooth enough. You probably should register for a Vita-mix though ;)

This looks amazing, can't wait to try it! Do you think I could substitute olive oil for the butter? Also, would I be able to make the cashew cream in a food processor instead of a blender? Thanks Sarah! Love the new site, btw!

Congratulations on the new website!! It looks wonderful, so does this recipe. When I receive fennel in my CSA box, I always scratch my head wondering what to do with it. This recipe is inspiring, especially with the cashew cream add on. Yum!!!

Adding orange juice to a vegetable soup sounds rather daring to me! I'm guilty of not cooking with fennel much either, despite it being such a lovely vegetable with an interesting flavour. Thanks for the much-needed inspiration! 🙂
