Soak the raw cashews in water for 4-6 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water.
In a high-speed blender, combine the broccoli florets, soaked cashews, filtered water, peeled and pitted avocado, garlic clove, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add more filtered water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more sea salt, black pepper, or a splash of lemon juice if needed.
If you want a cheesy umami flavor, blend in the nutritional yeast at this stage.
Serve the soup immediately in bowls, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of black pepper, or some chopped fresh herbs, if desired.
