DIRECTIONS
- Place a saucepan over medium heat and add the water, vinegar, dates, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
- Stir in the chia seeds and blueberries, and simmer for a few minutes.
- Remove from heat. Then blend using a handheld immersion blender or transfer it to a regular blender.
- To serve warm, ladle the soup into individual serving bowls. To serve chilled, place in the fridge uncovered for a minimum of 30 minutes. Once it’s cooled, portion into individual bowls or cover with a lid to save for later.
- Right before serving, add a dollop of Cashew Cream to each bowl of blueberry soup. Use the blade of a knife or spoon, to gently swirl the cream into the soup.
