SIMPLE, RAW SOUTHWEST BELL PEPPER SOUP

Have you ever made a raw soup?  Whether you consume an all raw diet or are transitioning to more of a raw diet, this soup is for you!  Pair this with a large salad and you have a fantastic meal in front of you.  Loaded with Vitamin C, Omega's from the hemp and silica from the cucumber, you are looking at a nutritional powerhouse!  Not too spicy but just enough kick to make you keep wanting more!  This is so nutritious and easy to make.  All you need is a high-speed blender.  You won't be disappointed! Serves 2.









INGREDIENTS:

1 red bell pepper chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic chopped
1/4 piece of jalapeno pepper chopped
1/4 piece of cucumber with skin chopped
1/2 stalk of celery chopped
1/2 of granny smith apple (my secret ingredient!) chopped
1/2-1tsp fine sea salt
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
2 Tbsp hemp seeds
juice of 1/2 a lemon or lime (whatever you have on hand)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
3/4 cup water


Place everything in the blender with the water being the last you thing you add.  Blend for at least 30-45 seconds until you have a smooth consistency.  I personally don't mind if it's left a bit chunky, but that is up to you!  Make sure to taste it.  Needs more garlic?  Throw it in.  You want it spicier?  Add more jalapeno.  Enjoy at room temperature or slightly chilled!
