- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 (14.5-oz.) can whole, peeled tomatoes
- 1 (14.5-oz.) can tomato juice
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/3 cup raw cashews
- 2 sprigs of thyme

Method
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat and saute onion until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer onions to a small bowl and set aside.
Step 2
Return pan to heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the drained cannellini beans along with the garlic and saute until the garlic is just starting to soften, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Add garlic, onion, whole peeled tomatoes, tomato juice, vegetable broth, cashews, thyme, basil, cayenne, and half your cannellini beans into your large Vitamix container with lid.
Step 4
Select Variable 1 or the Hot Soups program (if available). Start the machine and slowly increase to the highest speed. Blend for about 6 minutes or run the Hot Soups program until complete. Stop the machine.
Step 5
Add your remaining cannellini beans (without blending), divide into bowls and garnish with thyme and salt and pepper.
Step 6
Serve with fresh sourdough bread. Enjoy!
