Step 2

You can also put it all in a pot over the stove and cook covered for about 20 – 25 minutes.

Step 3

When done, put the garlic and cashews into a blender.

Step 4

Measure/weigh out the potato, onion, carrots and red pepper that is needed and put them in the blender.

Step 5

Add the rest of the ingredients, including the ½ cup reserved liquid from cooking the veggies, and blend on high until creamy and smooth.

Step 6

Serve! It thickens as it cools, and gets nice and thick in the fridge. It will thin out a bit once you warm it up again. You can put it in a pot and warm it up on the stove right after you make it to thicken it as well.
