Blend the cashews, water and miso until they are very smooth. I usually blend it for 1 minute then let it sit for 5 minutes and blend again. Repeat this 2-3 times until the cashews are blended well.

Add in the soy curls, mix in and bring to a good simmer. Soy curls will also absorb a lot of liquid and the cream might thicken a lot. Use some of your reserved stock.
