This raw creamy carrot soup uses cashews as the cream base. It tastes surprisingly like traditional soup - but without the dairy. A blender is required.

Recipe Directions
- 1. Throw all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend up 'til nice and smooth and well mixed. You can let the soup blend in the blender for a little extra time so that the heat of the blades and the friction actually warm up this delicious, creamy raw soup. Blend until very creamy and smooth.
- 2. Transfer raw creamy carrot soup to a bowl.
- 3. Garnish with whatever you like! I simply sprinkled my soup with pepper and a tiny carrot garnish. Eat immediately.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian This recipe is super simple and requires only a blender to make.
It's also very quick to pull together if you have carrots in the fridge, as well as some cashews in the cupboard. And really, who doesn't have carrots lying somewhere in the fridge? They last for a long time and are quite inexpensive. And you should always keep some spare cashews around!
It usually takes about 2-3 carrots to make 1 cup of chopped carrots.
This raw carrot soup recipe makes a nice big bowl for one person. :)

Raw creamy carrot soup recipe
I think I've put too many cashew nuts as it turned out a bit too sweet, more of a carrot cake taste rather than soup. Solved it on the spot with black pepper and pickles, although next time will keep a closer eye on how many nuts I put.

Raw creamy carrot soup recipe
My husband I had this for dinner. We were skeptical, him especially, but it really was good! It was almost too creamy for me. I added a bit of grated ginger and some fresh chilies. My husband liked it so much he's trying tomato tomorrow. I think that we have a Vitamix and could blend until warm really make the key difference. Definitely a keeper!

Raw creamy carrot soup recipe
This recipe is also great using parsnips in place of the carrot. Sprinkle a little smoked paprika on top. Mmmmmmm!

Nice idea with the parsnips, Penny!

is there a nut or other ingredient I could substitute for cashews? Thanks

Hi Emilia,
You could add the meat of 1 avocado instead of the cashews. (The avocado will add fat and creaminess, which is what the cashews do in this recipe.)

Raw creamy carrot soup recipe
Loved this super easy and quick lunch recipe! I added some chia seeds to bump up the nutrition and some ginger and it was delicious. I have a vitamix- so the soup gets warm just from the blades.
Thanks!

All these soup ideas have gotten me thinking about many other vegetables as well, to do the same thing to. I did a carrot soup yesterday but without your recipe handy, just based on what you did for the other soup recipes. Worked out great! I also added just a bit of fresh ginger and a clove of garlic. Made for a very nice taste. I'm sure this would work out perfectly with pumpkin! I used to make a hot pumpkin soup with ginger in it. Such soups are common in Europe but it was strange to my American friends, although they liked it.
Thanks for such great recipes! I love perusing your site, it always gives me ideas!

Raw creamy carrot soup recipe
I loved this recipe but truth be told I'd rather eat this and most other soups, hot or at least warm so I did heat this up and it was delicious. There's no harm in eating this heated, right?

Your soup looks divine, and if you want to heat it up, go for it! :)

How long can you store in fridge or freezer?

Hi!
2-3 days in fridge is fine. I've never frozen it myself.

Raw creamy carrot soup recipe
So simple & easy and yet so very delicious!! Definitely going to be a regular on the diner menu for me :) The hot water tip is a good one as it gives it just enough warmth. Thank you for another super recipe.

I love this idea. I like to add a couple teaspoons of nutritional yeast to give it a cheesy flavor along with garnishing with crushed nuts and chia seeds.

Yum! This is one of my favorite soups. The addition of ginger (from your cookbook) really makes this soup. Love it! Keep the recipes coming Laura-Jane.

I just made this in my Nutribullet. I added a garlic clove, a splash of almond milk and a few shakes of curry powder. It is soooo good. Really eats like a soup! Thanks!

Raw creamy carrot soup recipe
I'm sad to say that I couldn't eat this. I've been trying out tons of raw recipes since i went vegan, (and I've loved everything else) and I was so pumped to try the soups! Soups are one of my FAVORITE non raw things, and I just didn't vibe with this at all. I didn't like the texture and it was just sooo cold! Feeling really bummed, but I'll keep trying and trying to devise my own recipes! I really want to make a move into fully raw, I just need to have a tool box full of recipes first that way I don't end up starving myself!

I start with boiling water , then I added a 1/4 cup chopped onion, a half tablespoon of grated ginger, then the carrots, raw cashews (make sure they are raw, not toasted)' and the salt and a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper and curry powder to taste. Blend on super high speed. When done, the soup should be steaming.
