Instructions
Preparation time | 10 minutes
- If you use cashews, soak them for at least 4 hours to get the creaminess you’re looking for.
- Put all ingredients except topping together in a blender and blend into a raw soup with a good blender. If you don’t have a blender, a hand blender will do. Pour it into a bowl.
- Top with a bit of virgin olive oil and broken roasted walnuts.
- Serve cool or room temperature.
Notes
- Great to bring along to work or a picnic. Just find a glass jar that seals well or a food grade insulated food canister that keeps it cool.
- You could make a double portion as a snack for tomorrow or share with a friend.
