Serves: 8
Ingredients
• ½ cup raw cashews (preferably soaked in water for 1 to 2 hours)
• 1 cup water
• 4 cups organic vegetable broth
• 1 can (15 ounces) organic pumpkin
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
1. In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the cashews and water; process until smooth and creamy. Add in the pumpkin puree and vegetable broth, and process again until ingredients are well-blended. Set “pumpkin cream” aside.
2. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic; sauté for 6 to 7 minutes, or until onions and celery are translucent. Add the cumin, chopped chipotle peppers, and season with salt to taste. Pour in the “pumpkin cream” and use a handheld stick blender to process until smooth and creamy.
