sun bean soup

I made this for my toddler last night and he liked it :) So I thought I'd share with you.

Sun - bean soup

1 cup Sprouted Black Eye beans
1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
2 Carrots sliced
2 cups water
2 tbsp seeds (flax seeds)
1/2 cup nuts (cashews)
1 cup greens (any kind I used organic fresh lettuce and herbs mix)
1 zucchini cut into cubes
1 cup frozen peas
1/cup carrot juice (optional)

Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil, then transfer to blender and pulse blend with nuts and seeds (he doesn't like smooth soup but I imagine this can be blended till smooth). Add carrot juice if desired for more liquid. When reached desired consistency, add zucchini, frozen peas. This way it cools down enough to eat soon after making it.
