Raw Cream of Asparagus and Golden Beet Soup

Soup mania rages on!

I think every new recipe this week may be a soup one. This was originally made for John, my raw vegan client that I prepare food for daily, but it was really yummy and I kept some for myself 🙂 It’s similar to a post I found on Boston Food and Wine, and it was a creamy, simple way to put a whole bunch of asparagus to good use.

1 bunch of asparagus, chopped

1 cup of raw cashews, soaked for 1 hour

4 cups coconut water (or half water, half coconut milk)

1 cup shredded golden beet

1 avocado

2 tbsp lemon juice

3 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

1/2 tsp dried dill

• Combine all ingredients in a blender, EXCEPT beets
• Blend until creamy, then pour into bowl and stir in beets
