Golden Austrian Cauliflower Cream Soup

I made this soup about two months ago and it is one of those recipes that are at the top of my list for favorites. It is so smooth and creamy and simply delicious. I was beginning to think that I wouldn't have any of those "absolutely delicious" recipes until I tried this one and now it is added with a hand full of other favorites. Here's the recipe.

Golden Austrian Cauliflower Cream Soup

1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
3 carrots, coarsely chopped
1 cup celery, coarsely chopped
2 leeks, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons VegiZest or other no salt seasoning
2 cups carrot juice
4 cups water
3 teaspoons Spike seasoning
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup raw cashews
5 cups kale or organic baby spinach

Cover and simmer all ingredients except cashews and kale or spinach for 15 minutes or until just tender. If kale is being used, steam until tender. Blend 2/3 of soup vegetables and liquid with raw cashews until smooth and creamy. Add back to the remaining chunky vegetables and stir in kale or spinach. Spinach will wilt in the hot soup.
