Creamy Vegan Cucumber Soup

By

As the heat begins to rise this summer and the need to keep our kitchens cool becomes more of a problem, I love creating cold soups utilizing high-water-content vegetables of the season.  Cold soup is such a nutritious way to pack in the veggies and uses no heat to prepare.  Simply throw everything into your Vitamix and blend away.  Now that’s an easy dinner!   Our Creamy Vegan Cucumber Soup is made with a base of beautiful English cucumbers, fresh herbs, jalapeño, cilantro, and soaked cashews.
