Zucchini-Cashew Soup

I love having a nice bowl of soup in the winter time! Even though we enjoy the warm winters in Florida, the thought of soup in the winter is always comforting. 

We have been doing the Ultimate Reset from Beachbody and trying out all kinds of new recipes. I definitely have a few that will be regulars in my meal plans after the reset is over! This soup recipe is sooo simple and it tastes delicious!!!! 

Zucchini-Cashew Soup

Ingredients: 
(for 1 serving)

1 large or 2 small zucchini, cut into chunks and steamed
1/4 cup raw cashews
Himalayan salt OR Bragg Liquid Aminos (to taste)
Herbal seasoning or fresh herbs, like basil or dill (optional; to taste)
Steamed vegetables (optional; for chunky soup)

Directions:
Soak cashews in enough water to cover for 1 hour; drain. Combine cashews, zucchini, salt or aminos, and seasonings in blender and mix until smooth, adding water as needed for desired consistency.  Pour into saucepan and reheat gently, but do not boil. For chunky soup, add steamed chopped vegetables of your choice.




Notes: 
The recipe makes one serving.  We quadrupled the recipe so that we had leftovers.  It can be served cold, too. I took it to lunch the next day, didn't warm it up, and it was still delicious! The kids in my classroom at work thought it looked like baby food....but trust me, it was awesome! ENJOY!!!
