Cream of Broccoli Soup image

This recipe was adapted from a recipe on drfuhrman.com. Even though it is vegan, it has a delicious, creamy flavor and texture. A high speed blender like Vitamix works best for this recipe so the cashews turn creamy when blended.......For each can of low sodium broth, I substitute 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon VegiZest (from drfuhrman.com) and 1/8 teaspoon salt.....You can reduce prep time by using frozen or pre-chopped vegetables and jarred garlic.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
4 turnips, peeled and chopped
10 ounces kale, de-stemmed and chopped
4 broccoli florets, stems chopped and florets cut to bite size
3 (15 ounce) cans low sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup raw cashews

Steps:

  • Remove the center stem from the kale and discard. Wash and chop kale leaves and put in a large soup pot (at least 7 quarts). If you don't know how to remove the stems from kale, Google: remove kale stems.
  • Add chopped onion, garlic, turnips, broccoli and broth to soup pot.
  • Bring soup to a boil, stirring several times so bottom doesn't burn.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally until vegetables are soft, about 20-25 minute.
  • Remove about half the soup and blend with the cashews until smooth. Return mixture to pot and reheat.
