This vibrant, summery raw spinach soup is the perfect meal when you need something light yet hearty. It's packed with vitamins and enzymes, and I'm sure you will feel more invigorated after having some spoonfuls of it. Actually, I get a boost of energy already just by looking at the vivid green color of the soup. Plus, it's as easy as ABC: Soak the cashews first, then blend all soup ingredients on high until you get a creamy deliciousness. Soup in a blender, voila!
I like to eat the soup gently warmed up to intensify the flavors, especially the garlicky note. If you're into a raw food diet, you can slightly warm the soup up to 40° C and it will still be classed as „raw".
