Cook until potatoes, carrots and cauliflower are tender.Place the ingredients into a high powered blender with 2 cups cashew milk and blend.Add salt and pepper to taste. (my kids won't eat it if there is pepper - so I don't add to pot but finish my personal bowl with white pepper and hot sauce. YUM) Tip of the day: Put the carrot tops and tips (not greens) in a bowl on the side, along with extra dill, An extra shiitake or two, the onion tops and skins and garlic skins and an extra garlic. Put it in a second part and boil for 1 hour. You will have broth for your next soup. I freeze in two cup containers.
