A common concern among raw-food newbies is what to eat when temperatures drop during fall and winter. The answer lies in a blender, which allows you to make warm soups to keep you cozy. This hearty vegan soup—made with acorn squash, red Italian peppers, and raw almonds—is perfect for a chilly day and can be made fully or partially raw depending on your individual tastes and comfort level.
