Carrot, apple and cashew soup

This is a delicious soup that was made for me by a vegan friend - it sounds a little strange but it just works so well!

Ingredients
1 medium sized cooking apple
5 carrots
1 onion
2 pints vegetable stock
1/4 cup cashew nuts
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

1) Peel and cut the carrots, onion and apple up into chunks - you will be blending everything up so it doesn't really matter how you do this.
2) Cook the carrots, onion and apple in olive oil on a low heat until soft - about 5 minutes should do - and season with salt and pepper.
3) Add the stock and cashew nuts and simmer with the lid on for about 30 mins.
4) Blend the whole mixture in a food processor or with a hand blender.

The cashews give this soup a delicious creamy taste - in a totally paleo friendly way!
