Creamy Leek and Cabbage Soup

"Chilly fall and winter days call for warming creamy soups. I love making them with produce that’s in season, such as leek and cabbage. These vegetables pair really well since they both have a pleasant sweetish touch. This sweetness is underlined and balanced by the earthiness of cooked beetroot and the roasting flavors of toasted cashews. Beet and roasted cashews are perfect toppings for this creamy soup, and they turn this simple dish into a delicious comfort food for a windy, rainy, moody day."
