Raw Spinach Soup

A highly coveted recipe THIS soup was introduced to me by Cherron P. during a raw food retreat we had here at Thunder Mountain a few years ago. It's super easy to make, and doesn't need a whole lot to be eaten with it, since it is so filling and nutritious. Just a side salad is good. Also you can add things like cucumber or other greens if you want to get creative, or even use water in place of carrot juice...find what works for you. Recipe: 2c fresh Carrot Juice, 1 T Lime Juice, 1/2c Extra Virg Olive Oil, 1/4c Tamari, 1 Avocado, 1/3c Basil packed, 2c fresh Spinach, 2 T Scallions, 2 T Garlic, 1 tsp Jalapeno, 1/3c Parsley, 1/2 med Tomato or 6-8 Cherry Tomatoes. If you have a vitamix just put all the ingredients in and blend until creamy. If you have a basic blender blend the carrot, lime, olive oil, tamari, basil, spinach and avocado first and blend, then add the remaining ingredients chopped well and blend until smooth. And if you like it spicy then add more of the jalapeno. This soup won't last long so eat it up...
