• 4 cups (960 ml) vegetable stock

2. Place vegetable stock, cashews, and sautéed mixture into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.

Notes

People often overlook the mushroom as a nutrient dense vegetable, but don't let them fool you! Not only are they packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, but they also bring a delicious umami flavor to recipes. The cashews create a cream base that is not only delicious, but delivers plant protein, fiber, and healthy fat. This soup has it all!
