SOUP’S ON!
Long before I started my business, it was pretty much clock work that I go to the farmers market to purchase my produce. After Living Lotus Chocolate was born and I vended at more and more farmers markets, there was little time for me to be able to go to my “home” market.
So last week when I hit up Trout Lake Farmers’ market, I was overjoyed! I was even more overjoyed when I found boxes of local, organic red peppers on fire sale.

SMOKED RED PEPPER SOUP
Serves 4
6c red peppers chopped
2 avocados 1 + 1/3 c Cashews soaked
1 + 1/3 c Water
2t Himalayan crystal Salt
1/2t Smoked paprika
This is a raw soup, so throw it all in a Vitamix until warm and you’re good to go!
If you don’t have a high speed blender, feel free to roast or steam the peppers to soften them up, then use an immersion blender on everything.
