Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 stalks of celery, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 cups low or no sodium vegetable broth
• 3 large stalks of broccoli, tough stalks peeled and sliced, florets medium small
• 1 TBSP dried dill
• 1/3 cup raw unsalted cashews
• 2 TBSP nutritional yeast
• Fresh dill for garnish
• White pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

In a heavy bottomed soup pot, saute the onion in a little broth until it is translucent.
Add celery and garlic and cook for another couple of minutes.
Add the broth, broccoli, and dried dill and simmer until the vegetables are soft.
If desired, chop the broccoli up a bit more (I use a pastry cutter right in the soup pot to do this).
Remove 2-3 cups of the soup and blend it in a high powered blender the cashews.
Return the blended soup back to the pot, add the nutritional yeast and stir to mix in.
Heat through and serve, topping with snipped fresh dill.
