Cream of pistachio soup

[kyrie]

I mentioned this once, was asked for the recipe, but couldn't find the right sage. (You can get it from the tasteful garden dot com)

It's very important that you use Berggarten sage for this. Berggarten is a non-flowering variety of sage. It has a strong flavour, yum!!! Wait until sage is older, and downy and silvery green in appearance.That's when I think it has the best flavour. It's taken me years to find this sage again. So I am very happy

No measurements really, taste as you go.

Ingredients,

Cashew milk, add according to consistency you like,

raw pistachios (lots, soup should be pistachio green) - go by taste

Blend.

Berggarten sage (lots for me anyway) - go by taste.

Blend.

Sea salt to taste.

Nama Shoyu to taste

Add allspice, chilli flakes, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder and garlic powder to taste. I love spicy foods, but your mileage may vary.

Celery salt shallots and scallions or spring onions to taste.

Blend in Vitamix until warm.

Add other stuff like sundried tomatoes or sundried sweet red bell peppers or peppadews if you like them.

There are no hard and fast rules.

Enjoy.

Feedback is welcome.

Have a good day all.

Wow, the soup sounds incredible! Thanks for sharing such a great idea!:)

silkyraw~I make pistachio pesto lasagna or *rawgatoni* all the time. comes out just fabulous. I use the pistachios as a pesto base with just *noodles* as well. I think they are one of my fav nuts.:D

Hope this helps.

Carla, does the taste of the pistachios come through, even with all of the spices? I looooooove pistachios! Mmmm.

Thank you for sharing the recipe--it does sound incredible! Please advise if the sage you use is fresh or dried. Also, what are peppadews?

Will definately be trying this recipe--and spicy is a good thing.

Hi guys,

The pistachio flavour comes through, that's why there are no measurements cause it depends on your tastes, how strong you want the flavour.


Peppadew is a hot sweet red pepper. Have a look on Google.

Don't blend in the bell pepper or tomato, whether or not you use sundried or

fresh, just chop roughly.

The sage needs to be fresh not dried. I just don't like dried sage myself, but if you like the flavour try it and see if it works

With less liquid this would also make a good dip or pesto/cheeze

Thanks guys

Oh yeah, off topic I know, but yesterday was my emancipation from my heart busting job.

Whoopee.
