Jen's Super Spectacular Raw Green Earth Soup

In celebration of high spring, warmer weather, and all that is fantastic about this time of year, I am sharing my very favorite, eat it five days a week and still want more, raw Green Earth Soup recipe.

Green Earth Soup:

2 tomatoes
½ cucumber
1 avocado
2 big garlic cloves
Handful of spinach leaves or kale
1 tbs Liquid Amino
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbs EVOO
Pepper
handful of Raw cashews for garnish
Clover sprouts for additional garnish

Chop up veggies and then blend everything in your food processor.

Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes. Garnish with cashew and clover sprouts if so desired

 Because this is by far my favorite thing to eat in the growing season, I included the nutritional info for you.
Note how much B vitamin goodness there is in this dish, niacin, thamin, riboflavin... In case you didn't know, many vegans can become deficient in B-12. Eat this soup, and that will not be the case!

  1. I'm definitely going to try this recipe - thanks for sharing Jen!

    Also, I'm going to be volunteering at the Veggie Fest this coming weekend and will be stationed at the speaker tent during the cooking demo. I'm excited to meet you and watch you cook! :)

  2. My friend Callie referred me to your blog for this soup. It's awesome. I'm a cucumber fiend so I used a whole cuke & left half the tomatoes diced (didn't have cashews) for some crunch. It was totally what I needed, and even my boyfriend who isn't a fan of cold soups really liked it!
