Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked for 2-4 hours)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the broccoli florets to the pot, stirring to combine, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
4. In a separate blender, combine the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, almond milk, and turmeric. Blend until smooth and creamy.
5. Once the broccoli is cooked, carefully transfer the soup to the blender (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot) and blend until smooth.
6. Stir in the cashew mixture, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through for another 5 minutes.
7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
