We love this Thai ginger and cashew soup, which can be made from raw ingredients in only 5 minutes, with very minimal prep required - you can even leave the stalks and skins on most of the veggies. The power of the Vitamix means the blades blend the ingredients extremely finely, and the friction generated actually heats the soup so that it is ready to eat straight from pouring it out of the container. Take a look at the recipe below.
