Kream of Broccoli with Red Bell Pepper Kream

Broccoli is blended with sweet cashews to make the soup base. Because raw food is all about simulating the look, flavors, and textures of the cooked version, I've added spinach for a greener color while also helping to mellow out the strong taste of raw broccoli.

SOUP BASE
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 cup spinach, washed well and packed
1 cup cashews
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 cups water

TOPPING
1 recipe Red Pepper Kream

Place all the soup ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Divide among four serving bowls. Top each portion with a dollop of Red Pepper Kream and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
