4 carrots
2 yellow or red bell peppers (capsicum)
1/2 onion
3 dates
1 cup vegetable stock
1 cups water
1 TBS lemon juice
1 tsp cilantro powder
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 cup cashews (soaked for 6hrs)
2. Put into a pot with all other ingredients except for the cashews
3. Bring to boil and cook for 15 mins, turning the heat down to med
4. Put into the blender with the cashew and blend until desired consistency is required
* If you are not using liquid stock, you can add a cube of vegetable stock and a cup of water. The one I use is from Massel which can be purchased in most grocery stores, it is vegan and gluten free
* If you want a chunkier soup just blend it on a slightly lower speed and not as long, to get the creamy consistency I had it on for a min, and I have a thermomix which is very powerful
