This is a speedy antioxidant packed soup. An excellent source of carotenoids, lycopene and vitamins C and E. The addition of cashew nuts provides protein but also creates a wonderful creamy texture to the soup. Top with the dairy free pesto which is equally delicious stirred through cooked vegetables, rice or used as a dressing.
