BEST VEGAN TOMATO BISQUE

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients, except the cashew butter to a pot. If using whole cashews, add them to the pot as well, as they will soften as the soup cooks. Stir well and turn to high heat.
• Bring it to a boil and once it starts boiling, stir once more and then cover with a lid and turn the heat down to medium-low. Cook covered on medium-low for 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are very soft. Cooking this long really creates depth of flavor, as well. Stir a couple of times during and to check on the carrots.
• Once the carrots are tender, turn the heat off. Very carefully pour the soup into a blender, it's HOT! (I used my Vitamix) and add the cashew butter (if using instead of whole cashews). Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and add anymore salt or dried herbs. Mine didn't need anymore salt because my tomato puree already had mild salt. Feel free to adjust.
• Pour into bowls. Serve with toasted bread or this grilled cheese!
