Instructions

  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic and salt. Sauté in a tablespoon of water for 2 - 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Add the chopped potatoes, carrots and broccoli stems (without the florets) and sauté for 5 minutes. If necessary, add more water by the tablespoon when sautéing, to prevent veggies from sticking. Add cashews and water (or vegetable broth), bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are fork tender.
  3. Transfer to a blender and add the nutritional yeast and Dijon mustard. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the soup back in the pot and add the bite size broccoli florets. Cook until tender, around 10 minutes. Let it cool for a couple of minutes and then add the lemon juice.
  5. Season to taste and enjoy with croutons on top. Enjoy!
