Notes
This recipe is adapted from The Pinning Mama's Copycat Panera Creamy Tomato Basil Soup Recipe.
Leftover soup can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. If you plan to freeze the soup, I recommend leaving out the cashew mixture and adding it after reheating the soup.
