Directions:

  1. Bring several cups of water to a boil. Add in chopped potato, carrots and onion to the water. Cook veggies for roughly 10 minutes or until they are soft enough to blend up in a food processor.

  2. Once veggies are soft drain them in a colander and add to a high powered food processor. Add in the soaked cashews, lemon juice and the full fat coconut milk and blend on high until a smooth purée is formed. Add in remaining ingredients and blend on high until all the ingredients are well combined.
