3 cans white beans, drained and rinsed
1 can hominy, drained (or 1.5 cups frozen corn)
1 TBSP cumin
1 tsp garlic powder

Combine all ingredients except cashews and water in a pot and heat through on medium heat on the stove.
In a blender, blend the cashews with 1 cup of water until smooth. Stir into soup.
While the soup heats, prepare fresh ingredients if you’d like, such as cilantro, avocado, or lime wedges. Toast corn tortillas in the toaster until golden brown, being careful not to burn them or your fingers.
Let everyone prepare their bowl with broken tortilla chips and other toppings they like. Add salt and pepper if needed.
Note: For nut-free, omit the cashew cream for a clear soup, or stir in a spoon full of tofu sour cream.
