In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cabbage and carrots; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and the carrots are softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the vegetable stock, tomato sauce, apple, rice, black pepper and salt. When the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium; cover and cook until the carrots are tender and the rice is done, about 25 minutes.

Stir in the cashews and raisins; cover and continue to cook until the raisins are softened and plumped, about 5 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium; add the soy milk and stir until heated through. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
