Harvest Soup Recipe

I’m crazy for this easy Harvest Soup, made from the freshest ingredients, hopefully straight from your garden or farmers market.
You’ll get all you need in one bowl: high Vitamin C from red peppers, beta carotene for your skin from carrots and heart healthy lycopene from tomatoes. Add in some raw cashews for a protein boost, and you have the perfect meal.
