How To Make The Best Vegan Broccoli Cheese Soup

Allow the onions to become soft and start to brown for lots more flavor! 

I’ve burned myself by blending hot liquid and have even gotten it all over the walls and ceiling because I filled the blender too high with HOT soup. So, please be cautious and careful when blending hot liquids. I like to let it cool for about 15 minutes or so off the heat and then blend in small batches. I would also recommend placing a towel over the blender to catch any splatter if you have a vitamix and hold the lid tight.

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large, deep pot on medium high heat. 
2. Dice onion and carrots. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 5-7 minutes! Peel and chop potatoes and three garlic cloves and add to pot and cook for an additional 3 minutes, lightly sprinkling with salt again. Add 4 cups of broccoli, cook for another 3 minutes. 
3. Add 5 cups of vegetable broth to pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, make cheese sauce. 
4. Add all ingredients for Cashew Cheese Sauce to blender and blend until smooth. If you don’t have a high speed blender, soak cashews in hot water for 20 minutes. 
5. Add paprika, ground mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne to soup. Empty out Cashew Cheese Sauce into separate bowl. Carefully transfer soup to blender and cover with a dish towel to avoid splashes. Pulse a few times until soup is slightly chunky or to preference. Return soup to pot and add cashew cheese. 
6. Enjoy with shredded vegan cheese (I recommend the brand follow your heart) on top and of course, don’t forget the baguette!
