Ingredients

  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion red, or white
  • 2 cups or more grated broccoli or broccoli slaw
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp or more cayenne
  • 2 tbsp or more nutritional yeast
  • 3/4 tsp or more salt
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh basil or dried basil to taste
  • 1/4 cup cashews soaked for 15 minutes or longer (1/3 cup for creamier)
  • 2 cups or more non dairy milk unsweetened
  • cayenne for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium low heat. Add onions and a dash of salt and cook until mostly translucent. about 6 minutes.
  2. Add the shredded broccoli and spices. Mix and cook for 1 minute. Mix in the nutritional yeast and salt. I used some broccoli stems and some florets and processed them in a food processor to get about 2 cups grated broccoli.
  3. Blend the cashews and basil with 1 cup non dairy milk until smooth. Blend a couple of times if the cashews were not soaked. Add to the saucepan. Add the rest of the non dairy milk and mix in. Bring to a boil. About 5 mins. If the soup starts to thicken too much or needs more liquid. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup or more water and mix in. Taste and adjust salt and spice.
  4. Simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes or until desired consistency. Garnish with cayenne or red pepper flakes. Serve with warm garlic bread or crackers.

Notes

  • For variation, add some other shredded veggies like carrots.
  • For less richness from the cashews, use less cashews and add 1 to 2 tbsp flour for thickening. Mix flour into non dairy milk and add. Or use 1 mashed potato mixed into the non dairy milk.
  • Make the soup as a dip with 3/4 to 1 cup non dairy milk
