How to Construct any Raw Soup


Here's a fail safe way to make a yummy raw soup. I'm hungry just thinking about it.. 

Component 1:  Any watery veg because they blend easily, remember to keep mostly red or green or it’ll look horrid
E.g. Tomato, Courgette, Celery, Red pepper, Romaine lettuce, Spinach, Chard
Component 2: Water
Thin out soup with water
Component 3: Citrus juice
Lemon, lime
Component 4: Salty seasoning:  
Salt (I like Himalayan) or miso (white is milder)
Component 5: Pungent seasoning
Fresh herbs, onion, garlic, cayenne pepper
Component 6: Oil
E.g. soaked nuts, seeds or an avocado or coconut oil, hemp oil, flax oil etc…
