Instructions
- Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Leave them to soak while you make the recipe.
- Slice the onion and celery. Cut the carrot into rounds. Slice the mushrooms. Peel the garlic. Roast in oven at 425/450 for about 20 minutes or until browned.
- Add the broth, wild rice, 1 ½ teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Then add the beans (drained and rinsed) and continue to simmer uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes more, or until rice breaks open.
- Using a liquid cup measure, carefully remove 2 cups of the hot soup (including broth, veggies and rice) to a blender. Add 2 cups of water. Add the cashews to the blender, along with the dried sage. Blend on high for about 1 minute until creamy. Then pour the creamy mixture back into the soup.
- Add the soy sauce and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Garnish with fresh ground pepper.

Notes: You can easily double your vegetables and puree half while leaving some whole in your soup.
