Squash and carrots soup with herbs and cashew cream

This is such a lovely combination of flavours I am sure you will love it! You only need to be a little bit patient, as the squash can take a little bit to cook and I usually leave the cashews to soak for a couple of hours, but I promise it is all worth it!
