I wanted something warm on a cool and rainy day and this recipe fit the bill.  It whipped up in a flash was filling and hearty.  Despite using my Vitamix to blend the cashew cream sauce, it came out grainy.  Next time I plan to soak the cashews if I have time. I did a google search and found that you can freeze cashew cream sauce.  I might make some and keep on hand for quicker prep.

This was very good but needdd something extra like a few tomatoes or peppers. I made the recipe exactly as printed except I soaked the cashews in the 1/2 cup of plant milk (I used soy milk) for 15 minutes and then blended with my silver bullet. The sauce is great and I used nutritional yeast. I think the dried onions gave it a special unique flavor. Served steamed broccoli on the side. Thank you for the recipe!
