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
- 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.
- Add the broccoli florets to the pot, stirring to combine, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- 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.

- 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.
