Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 425° F. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the green garlic and cook, stirring often, until translucent. Add the vegetable broth, potatoes, cashews and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and then immediately reduce to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  2. Leaving on any leaves, cut radishes in half lengthwise. Place on a sheet tray, toss with olive oil, coriander, cumin and caraway. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes or until the leaves become crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  3. In 2 cup increments, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Hot liquids expand more than cold, blending this way will ensure there is not a soup explosion in your kitchen! Transfer back into a stockpot with vinegar and stir to make sure the flavor is consistent. Season with additional salt, if needed.
  4. Divide soup into bowls and garnish with roasted radishes and olive oil. Enjoy with a beautiful crusty bread.
