Tomato Soup

4 c (2 - 14.5 to 15 oz. cans) diced tomatoes

1/2 c water
in a blender & blend for 15 sec.
Pour in a large pot.

Then put in the blender:
3/4 c raw cashews

1/2 t oregano
1 t salt
2 c water
& blend for 1 - 2 min.
& add to the large pot.

Cook on med. heat for 20 min.
Stir occasionally.

Can add to the large pot before serving:

Serve
or cool down & refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
