Ingredients
- 3 cup peeled and roughly chopped carrots
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped unsalted cashews
- 1 large leaf or 2 small leaves sage
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 Freshly ground black pepper to taste
This simple soup gets its creaminess from unsaturated fat-rich cashews.
STEPS
1. In a large pot, place the carrots, cashews, and sage. Add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the carrots are very tender.
2. Place the carrot mixture in a blender and process until very smooth, about 1 minute.
3. Before serving, reheat the soup and stir in salt and pepper. If the soup is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water.
