Place milk, cashews, seasonings, and sweetener in blender and blend until smooth and creamy. A heavy-duty blender works best for this. If using a regular blender, blend for long enough to be sure the mixture is very smooth.
Pour this mixture into a soup pan.
Add approximately half of the crushed tomatoes to blender (or as much as your blender can handle) and blend until smooth. Pour into soup pan.
Repeat with remaining crushed tomatoes. Pour into soup pan and stir.
Simmer soup for at least 5 minutes or up to 20 minutes, stirring often. Serve hot.
Notes
1. The amount of salt needed will vary depending on the amount of salt already in the tomatoes.2. Be sure to use a regular blender or a heavy-duty blender to get this soup silky smooth. An immersion blender doesn’t quite do the job.3. This is a very simply-flavored tomato soup recipe. If you like more pizazz, try adding Herbamare and oregano to the seasonings.
