Swiss Chard/Yellow Squash Raw Green Soup (Vitamix)

• 2 12 cups almond milk
• 12 cup raw cashew nuts (soaked in water, 4 hours to release enzymes)
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 6 swiss chard leaves (cut up coarsely, to fit in the blending container)
• 1 yellow squash (8 inch, straight neck, cut up into cubes)
• 1 carrot (8 inch, sliced into 1 inch rounds)
• 1 red bell pepper (small pepper or 1/4 large)
• 14 onion (medium)
• 34 yam (medium, cooked, until soft)
• 12 -15 basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon bottled garlic (or 2 large cloves, minced)
• 1 12 teaspoons sea salt

1. Place ingredients in the Vitamix container, in the order listed, and secure lid.
2. Set to "1" on the variable dial, and turn the machine on.
3. Increase the speed to 10 and set to High.
4. Blend for 4 minutes, until the jar feels hot, to the touch.
5. Serve with a sprig of fresh Basil.
6. NOTE: This could also be prepared in a food processor, but would probably not get as hot, as it does in the Vitamix.
7. Although, I have had foods turn warm, when processed for more than a few minutes.
