[trevorlawrence]

Hi All,

You can eat this soup with a spoon, as a dip for dehydrated crackers, as a dip for crudité, or as a salad dressing.

Half cup pine nuts soaked overnight, rinsed
10- 12 medium size ripe and soft juicy tomatoes, quartered
Large bunch of basil leaves, washed and striped
Full thumb of ginger
1 avocado
Juice of 2 lemons
Bunch of chives, scallions, or thin leek
Pint of cherry tomatoes, save whole to serve with

Directions:-

Mix and liquefy in blender
If this is too much for your blender and you don't have a vitamix, split it up into 2 batches

First batch Start with ginger
Add lemon juice
Add pine nuts gradually, pulsing until mixed
Add green onions and some basil and a few tomatoes

Second batch add the rest with avocado last.

combine both batches.

Serve with cherry tomatoes and a spring of basil or parsley. Makes 1 - 1 ½ quart, serves 4 (or one very hungry big man)
