This recipe comes from Heather Robertson at www.heatherrobertson.com. I came across this recipe when I was exhausted from a long day of work. I needed a cooked meal that would be quick, easy and satisfying. I had cauliflower, broccoli and green peas in the fridge. Man! I just realized that I could have added a zucchini! Darn it. At least I remembered the freshly shelled peas. So yeah, follow this recipe, but if you want to add a little zucchini or some peas, chuck them in. I found it to be a little bitter at the end, so I squeezed in some lemon and that fixed it up just right.
This broccoli cauliflower soup is thick, creamy and is the perfect comfort food on a cold day. Full of vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants this soup hits the mark when it comes to healthy eating.

3 cups water
1 cup raw cashews, unsalted

Flesh of 1 ripe avocado

DIRECTIONS
Combine all ingredients into the Vitamix and secure the lid. Select the hot soup pre-set and switch it on. Let the Vitamix run through the full cycle. Once finished, pour the hot ingredients into a serving dish and sprinkle with a small amount of cheese if desired. I used a goat feta!
