2 cubes of vegan broth or your choice
1/2 cup of dry roasted no salt cashews, grated in blender or grinder

2 inch piece fresh turmeric root peeled and grated
1 tsp of grated organic orange peele
1 tbsp of virgin coconut oil
fresh cilantro and coconut unsweetened yogurt for garnish 

Bring water to a boil with vegan broth. When it starts to boil add chopped carrots and cook until carrots are soft and easily poke-able with a fork. In a frying pan Heat the coconut oil, add grated ginger, turmeric root and chopped leeks, cook until lightly browned then mix in grated cashew nuts. Place the content of the frying pan into the pot with vegan broth and cooked carrots, add orange peel and blend the content in pot with hand blender until all of the ingredients are smooth consistency. If you don't have a hand blender you can always use a blender or food processor, but wait for the contents to cool down so you don't have an explosion on your hands.
