Ingredients
• 2 cups broccoli florets cut small
• 1 carrot shredded
• 1/2 sweet onion chopped small
• 3/4-1 cup raw cashews
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 3/4 tsp turmeric
• Salt and pepper to taste (you must use some black pepper since it boosts the absorption of turmeric)
• Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
Heat 1-2 tbsp of olive oil in a soup pot over low to medium heat. Cook onions and carrots for about 5-7 minutes, until soft. Add salt, black pepper and turmeric, and mix well. Heat for about 1 minute longer.
Add broccoli florets, and cook about 5 minutes longer.
Add broth, bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
Place cashews in a blender, add enough soup liquid (just liquid, no veggies) to cover cashews. Carefully blend cashews into a smooth paste, adding more liquid if needed.
Add cashew mixture back into the soup. Mix well, and warm through. Enjoy!
