Ingredients

• 4 cups Vegetable Broth
• 2-3 cups Broccoli Florets
• 3/4 cup Celery (chopped)
• 1/4 Red or Yellow Onion (chopped)
• 4 Garlic Cloves (minced)
• 1 tsp Turmeric (or 1/4-1/2 inch fresh)
• 4 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
• 1/3 cup Raw Cashews
• 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp Salt (optional; add to your taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• 1/2 Avocado (OPTIONAL: if you can't do cashews, replace with avocado)

Instructions

• In large pot over medium heat, sauté the onions, celery and garlic for about 4-5 minute until onions are translucent. Use a few tablespoons of oil to sauté or use slashes of water as needed to keep them from sticking.
• Add in the broccoli + nutritional yeast, salt and nutmeg and cook for another 2 minutes. Then add turmeric, vegetable stock, cashews and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 10-15 min or until broccoli is tender.
• Use an immersion blender or carefully transfer soup to a blender to blend. If using a regular blend, I suggest allowing the soup to cool before you transfer. Sometimes hot liquids can blow the top of the blender. 
• Once all blended pour back in pot and reheat if needed. Add salt and pepper as desired. Store in an air-tight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Store in the freezer for longer.
