Ingredients

4 cups carrot juice

1 15-oz can pinto beans, no salt or low salt

1 15-oz can mixed soup beans (Westbrae)

1 can Health Valley fat free black bean & vegetable soup

4 carrots, chopped

3 organic celery stalks, chopped

1 medium onion

2 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman’s VegiZest

2 tablespoons cashew butter, optional

fresh parsley leaves, chopped or broccoli sprouts

Preparation

Place all ingredients, except for cashew butter, in a large soup pot. Cover and simmer for 1/2 hour, until vegetables are soft. Place 1/2 of soup and the cashew butter in a blender & blend until creamy. Blend the rest of the soup. If you’d prefer a chunkier soup only blend 1/2 of it. Serve sprinkled with parsley or sprouts.
