You can vary the flavor of this basic soup by adding a teaspoon of thyme, basil, or any herb during the first step. For a delicious change of pace, try the curried variation at the end of the recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch broccoli (about 1 1/4 pound or 6-7 cups chopped)
1 large onion, chopped
2-4 cloves garlic, peeled
4 cups vegetable broth (I used Imagine's No-Chicken)
1 large Yukon gold potato, cooked, peeled and diced
1/4 - 1/2 cup raw cashews
salt, black pepper, and cayenne, to taste

Steps:

  • Place the broccoli, onion, garlic, and vegetable broth in a saucepan. Bring the broth to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer until broccoli is tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Put half of the broccoli and broth into a blender with half of the potato and cashews. Blend at high powder until smooth. Pour into another saucepan, and repeat with the rest of the broccoli, potato, and cashews.
  • Heat the soup, covered, on low for 10 minutes or so. Check seasonings and add salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper to taste.
