Enhanced with herbs and cashews, enriched with sour cream, with an appealing texture and attractive color. Although the herb flavor is more apparent when served hot, this also makes a refreshing chilled soup. --The Pilgrim's Inn, Deer Isle, Maine

• 4 cups rich chicken stock
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/3 cup chopped cashews
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 3 cups half-and-half
• 1 teaspoon each thyme, marjoram, and basil

Puree carrots and stock with sauteed mixture in food processor until smooth. Return to soup pot, whisk in half-and-half and add herbs, stirring until heated through.
