Ingredients
- 3 medium potato peeled and chopped
- 1 large carrot peeled and chopped
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 ½ cups cabbage chopped
- 1 ½ cups button mushrooms chopped
- 3 cups broccoli
- 1 cup water
- 1 ½ cups plant-based milk
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 1 cup cashews (see recipe notes on soaking)
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
- 1 lemon juice of
- 1 ½ cups kale de-stemmed and chopped
Instructions
- Start by boiling the carrot and potatoes in a saucepan for 12-15 minutes, until fork tender.
- Meanwhile, add the onion and cabbage to a different saucepan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they start to soften. Then, add the mushrooms and sauté for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the broccoli, water, 1 cup of the plant based milk and tamari. Stir together and leave to simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and soft.
- Once the potatoes and carrots are cooked, drain them, but retain and set aside ½ cup of the cooking water. Transfer the vegetables to a blender or food processor together with the cashews, nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt, the rest of the plant based milk, lemon juice, and the cooking water. Blend until very smooth.
- Stir the 'cheese' sauce into the saucepan with the broccoli. Simmer for a further 5 or so minutes to allow the soup to thicken, adding the kale around half way through to allow it to wilt.
