Zucchini Cashew Soup



Zucchini Cashew Soup

2 INGREDIENT SOUP!! SAY WHAAAT??

I just had to share this little gem of a recipe I discovered while doing Beachbody's Ultimate Reset this past spring. It has become one of my favs!!
The Ultimate Reset was a real life changer for me!!! I won't go into ALL the details on the Reset here...if you want more info just let me know! It is an amazing program!!

BUT there are some important things I learned that I would like to share:
Even though the human body is extremely resilient, we have been pushed to the limit over the years by pollution, pesticides, preservatives and chemicals contained in nearly every item that makes up our world. These harmful items can disrupt the normal function of our bodies, which in turn can result in reduced energy, restless sleep, a weakened immune system and weight gain.

This 21 day Ultimate Reset removes fat soluble toxins that are in your fat cells that can cause health problems, specifically, digestive disorders and cancers to name a few. The UR actually removes those toxins from the body. Losing weight or gaining weight just makes the fat cells bigger or smaller, but the toxins still are stored there. This detox eliminates them from the body to improve your overall health.
BEST thing about the ultimate reset...YOU CAN EAT FOOD!
TOUGHEST thing about the reset...no wine or coffee for 21 Days!

Zucchini-Cashew Soup 
(serves 2)

What you need:
2 large (or 3 medium) zucchinis, cut into chunks and steam for 4-5 minutes
35 raw unsalted cashews
Himalayan salt and pepper (to taste)
Herbal seasoning or fresh herbs, like basil or dill (I used fresh chopped dill)
Steamed veggies (optional for chunky soup)

What to do:
Soak cashews in 1 cup of water for 1 hour.
Combine cashews (including water) with zucchini (drained), salt and seasonings in a blender and blend until smooth, adding water as needed for desired consistency.

Pour into saucepan and reheat gently, but do not allow it to boil.
For chunky soup, add steamed chopped veggies of your choice. I added “riced” cauliflower but truly it doesn't need it!!

This is delicious...trust me! And SO easy! Play with the seasonings until you LOVE It!! I am making again tonight!! PS..This would be a great lunch...very filling!!
