I was recently told this mouthwatering soup was one of the top 5 things I have made in quite a while by the family I cook for. Filled with veggies and a creamy broth (with no cream!) any vegetarian, vegan or celiac can enjoy this winter warmer!
1 cup mushrooms, diced
3/4 cup raw cashews
6 cups vegetable broth (I used a mushroom based broth)
3 potatoes, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
Zest and juice of one lemon
In your vita-mix (or any blender) blend cashews and 2 cups of veggie broth until smooth. Pour mixture into a large saucepan and add potatoes, onion, carrots and remaining 4 cups of broth. Add in mushrooms and 1/2 cup of water. Bring soup to a boil, and reduce heat to simmer till potatoes are tender. Add bell pepper and lemon juice and simmer for 3 more minutes. Serve, top with lemon zest, and Devour!
