2 cups water
2 cups broccoli steamed
2 tsp lemon juice (juice of ¼ lemon)
½ cup cashews (optional for a creamier cheesier soup)

4). Place the carrots and potatoes into the blender with the other ingredients and add 2 cups of water.  Blend until smooth. You can add more water if you want a less thick soup.
