"Cream" of Potato Soup

This soup is for my fam who's either vegan or lactose free. It's a potato soup that still packs some protein, is super easy to make, and can be a base for a multitude of other things (add veggies, grains, whatever you like).

"Cream" of Potato Soup

• 3 large baking potatoes
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1/2 cup raw cashews
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2-3 green onions, just green parts chopped

Peel potatoes, place them whole with all other ingredients (minus green onions) in your slow cooker. Cook on low until the potatoes are tender - time will depend on size, mine took about 4 hours.

Scoop all of the chunks out of the slow cooker with some of the juices and put them into your blender. Blend until smooth then scrap back into the slow cooker.  Add green onions, stir to incorporate the broth, then let cook for about 30 minutes more.
