Zucchini-Cucumber-Cashew Soup


When I started The Ultimate Reset this past week I was a little skeptical about this recipe on the meal plan. It sounded good but I also couldn't really imagine how it would taste, but I thought I would give it a shot! However I did make a few changes to it to give it my own take - and I thought I would share the recipe with you. *(Recipe at bottom of post)

Zucchini-Cucumber-Cashew Soup (4 servings)!

  1. First, you soak the cashews in 2 cups of water for 1 hour.



   2. While your cashews are soaking, peel and chop all veggies and cut into chunks.





   3. Chop your fresh herb mixture. I used basil, cilantro, and parsley. Feel free to use your favorite herb        mixture to taste, then fill a pot up with water and boil it on medium heat.






   4. After the water is boiling, pour veggies in boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Then drain.




   5. Pour all components into a large bowl or blender. (Our large blender was broken so I had to blend      separately in a Bullet! It took a while longer but it worked! That is why I mixed mine in the bowl          first). Pour in cashews (+the soaking water), then herb mixture and pink Himalayan salt to taste. Then    cooked veggies. Blend!














   6. ENJOY! :)
