Carrot-cashew soup

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 tablespoons Olive oil; or less
1 cup Finely chopped onion
2 cups Shredded cabbage; from white or green head
2 cups Coarsely shredded carrots
3 cups Vegetable stock
15 ounces Tomato sauce
1 Apple; peeled and cored, and cut into half-inch chunks
⅓ cup Uncooked brown rice
½ teaspoon Ground pepper
1 dash Salt
½ cup Raw cashews
½ cup Golden raisins
2 cups Soy milk

Directions

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cabbage and carrots; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and the carrots are softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the vegetable stock, tomato sauce, apple, rice, black pepper and salt. When the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium; cover and cook until the carrots are tender and the rice is done, about 25 minutes.

Stir in the cashews and raisins; cover and continue to cook until the raisins are softened and plumped, about 5 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium; add the soy milk and stir until heated through.

Adjust the seasoning to taste.
