Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 3 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman's VegiZest
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored and diced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, or more to taste
  • 1 15-ounce can solid-pack pumpkin
  • 3/4 cup raw cashews, reserving 1/4 cup for garnish
  • 1/4 cup soy milk
  • 4 packed cups organic baby spinach

Method

  • Saute water, onion, and ginger in medium saucepan until soft.
  • Combine water & VegiZest with a wire whisk. Add along with apples, curry, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cover and simmer until apples are tender, 10-15 minutes.
  • Stir in pumpkin until smooth and heat another ten minutes.
  • In a blender, puree half of the mixture along with the cashews until smooth and return to the pan.
  • Stir in soy milk and spinach. Allow spinach to wilt and serve with reserved chopped cashews sprinkled on top.
  • Note: This is a light and rather elegant soup that makes a great fall dish.
