Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 cups filtered water
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Soak the raw cashews in water for 4-6 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
Step 2
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more sea salt, black pepper, or a splash of lemon juice if needed.
Step 6
If you want a cheesy umami flavor, blend in the nutritional yeast at this stage.
Step 7
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.
