Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 4 cups broccoli
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Wash and cut the broccoli into florets. Add the broccoli to the pot and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the pot to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.

Step 5

While the soup simmers, place raw almonds in a bowl and cover with hot water, letting them soak for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

Once the broccoli is tender, add the soaked almonds to the pot.

Step 7

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree.

Step 8

Return the pot to the heat and stir in salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and nutritional yeast. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Simmer gently for another 5 minutes to meld flavors together.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
