Carrot and Cashew Soup

A friend and I were talking about how soup seemed to be a common theme in some of the Zelda games, and this then prompted us to want to make carrot soup. A few days later, I decided to make a similar soup to bring to work, but in a lazier fashion.

Ingredients:

5 carrots

1/2 onion

Few leaves of fresh mint

dash of cumin

dash of cinnamon

lots of black pepper

dash of salt

2 handfuls of cashews (about 1/4 cup)

 Peel and chop the carrots.

 Boil the carrots until soft, around 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, dice the onion, then cook them in some cooking oil on medium heat until transparent. Lower the heat, then add the cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, and salt, to taste. Shred the mint and throw that in too. Stir for about a minute. 

 Strain the carrots. If your blender is plastic, like mine (mine's not really a blender haha), then you should probably rinse the carrots in cold water first. Blend the carrot, onions, and half the cashews together, adding a little water if the mixture is too thick to blend easily. After it's blended, add the remaining cashews and blend for a few seconds so that the cashews are chopped but still a little coarse.

Eat it cold, eat it warm, whatever pleases you.
