Lazy Day Vegan Tomato Bisque

1 cup packed finely chopped yellow onion (140 g)

3 long carrots, peeled and thinly sliced in rounds (140 g, should be about 1 cup sliced)

1 tablespoon minced garlic (8 g, 3 to 4 large cloves)

3 cups (720 g) tomato puree/sauce (I buy mine in a glass jar and it has a little added salt, that's it. I wouldn't suggest the metal canned tomato sauce b/c they have a yucky metallic flavor)

2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth

½ tablespoon dried Italian herbs blend (found in the spice isle, make sure it is red pepper-free, or the soup will be spicy)

salt & pepper (1 teaspoon fine sea salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper)

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

¼ cup raw cashew butter (I make my own here)

optional, but recommended: bread for toasting and dipping

* Note: If you are allergic to cashews, then I would suggest adding ½ cup cooked/mashed gold potato instead at the end when blending. I would ONLY suggest this if allergic, as the cashew butter is what makes this soup so darn creamy and amazing. It's not going to be quite the same with the potato, nor have that slight sweetness, so you may need extra syrup if you go the potato route. I have not tested it with the potato, so please let me know if you try it! note: Note: If you are allergic to cashews, then I would suggest adding ½ cup cooked/mashed gold potato instead at the end when blending.
