A densely pigmented soup made with a base of fresh beet root and avocado, seasoned with a hint of tamari, miso, fresh ginger, garlic and a dash of salt and pepper.

1 peeled garlic clove
1 tablespoon peel fresh ginger root (optional) 
1 1/4 cups hot water (approximately) 
3 mushrooms

Methods/steps

To make the soup: 

1) blend everything together in your Vitamix until very smooth. Taste and adapt to your liking. Place in bowls and set aside. 

To make the cashew cream: 

1) blend the cashews with the water, salt and cinnamon until creamy. Add a little more water if you don’t want it so thick. Change it as you like. Spoon onto your soup and enjoy! 

I recommend adding some fresh herbs and seeds. I used peppermint and pumpkin seeds but any combination would be lovely.
