Cashew Veggie Blended Soup

I purchased a new blender this weekend to make this delicious soup. It's fast and easy and good for you. Yes, it's vegan, so enjoy!

The Stuff:

• One medium Vidalia or Mayan Sweet onion
• Two garlic cloves
• Two tablespoons of Olive Oil
• One cup unsalted cashews
• Three cups of vegetable broth
• One green or red pepper
• Two medium-sized carrots
• One-half cup of spinach, uncooked.
• 1/8th teaspoon Kosher salt
• Black pepper to taste

The Magic:

• Chop and sautee the onions in the olive oil until soft then add the garlic until slightly browned and tender. 
• Add in the cashews and broth and simmer for 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, chop up the other vegetables except for the spinach and toss in together, simmer for another half hour or until tender.
• Plop into a blender, add spinach, and blend for around five minutes. 
• Serve hot with grilled Italian or French bread drizzled with olive oil.
