Instructions:
- Sauté the Aromatics – Heat 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add 200–250 g spring onions and 4–5 minced garlic cloves. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring, until softened and fragrant.
- Bloom the Spices – Stir in 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
- Simmer – Pour in 960 ml (4 cups) vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes.
- Blend – Transfer to a blender. Add 2 tbsp flour and a handful of fresh parsley. Blend until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot.
- Finish and Serve – Return soup to pot. Warm over low heat, taste, and adjust seasoning. Add lemon juice to taste. Ladle into bowls, swirl in cashew cream, and serve with crusty bread.
Notes:
- Use both the white and green parts of the spring onions for the most flavor and color.
- Flour or cornstarch added during blending thickens the soup and gives it body.
Storage:
- Fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Swaps:
- Replace cashew cream with coconut cream or oat cream.
- Use potato starch instead of flour for gluten-free.
Tips:
- Garnish with chili oil, crispy shallots, or extra spring onion greens.
