CREAMY VEGAN SOUPS: In this episode of Genius Recipes, host Kristen Miglore turns to Wil Yeung, cookbook author and host of the Youtube channel 'Yeung Man Cooking,' for a new way to make lush, creamy soups that happen to be entirely vegan. The first genius ingredient is cashew cream, aka equal parts water and raw cashews, which you can blend without soaking if youre using a high-speed blender like a Vitamix. And the second, maybe more surprising genius ingredient? A thinly sliced potatoand this is crucial rinsed to get rid of any excess starch, so the soup has loads of body but wont sneak off and go gluey as you blend.Here, Wils template takes the form of a creamy mushroom soup. But to show how riffable Wils technique is, Kristen came up with another creamy vegan soup recipe inspired by two specialties of Duartes, a 129-year-old tavern in Pescadero, a tiny fishing and farming village on the California coast: their famous cream of artichoke and green chile soups, which they often serve swirled together.
