Pesto soup

adapted from "The Raw Truth"

10 large fresh basil leaves
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 Tbsp red miso
1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
2 cups water
2 cups diced tomato (about 4 tomatoes)
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
2 Tbsp shredded carrot
2 Tbsp shredded beets (I skipped these)
2 Tbsp minced onion, rinsed
1 tsp sea salt (or to taste)

Blend the basil, garlic, pine nuts, miso, nutritional yeast while adding the water. Once it is smooth, add the tomato, bell pepper, carrot, beets, onion and salt, and blend until mixed but still chunky.
