Step 1

Chop the onions and garlic. This can be a pretty rough chop as we’re going to blend them later, so it doesn’t have to be super precise here.

Step 2

Cook the onions and garlic in a medium pot over medium/high heat for 4-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices, stock, cashews, and cayenne if using. Cook another 2-3 minutes. Then combine everything in a blender and puree until smooth. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
