Today, I decided that soup was a perfect lunch choice. The following recipe was adapted from "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Eating Raw".
Raw Creamy Broccoli Soup
3 cups of Broccoli florets
1 1/2 cups water
2 TB. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup celery
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 TB. nama shoyu
2 TB. nutritional yeast
1/8 tsp. salt
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
Putting all of the ingredients in the Vitamix, I blended for about one minute. Water can be added to reach desired consistency. The recipe states that cauliflower may be used in the place of broccoli for a creamier soup. May be served warm from the blender or at room temperature. It says this makes 6 cups but mine did not. I did not add any extra water so it made a little under 3 cups. I ate half and will save the other half for later. I really enjoyed the spicy flavor.
