Blend the cashews in a food processor with a little broth until smooth as a puree as possible. Add the onion and carrot mixture and blend to make a smooth and velvety soup. Pass through a fine sieve if you want the soup to be smoother. Taste and season with a little salt. Serve pepper at the table.
