INGREDIENTS :
- 2 medium russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 medium carrots peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 2 cups water
- 2-3 tbsp low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp turmeric (For color)

- 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS :
- Begin by sautéing the diced onion in 2-3 tbsps of low-sodium vegetable broth in a dutch oven until translucent, for about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, raw cashews, minced garlic, and two cups of water. Bring it to a simmer and then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover it. Let it cook for 20 minutes or until everything is soft and tender
- Add all of the cooked ingredients, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and vegetable broth to a high-speed blender (this is the Vitamix blender that I use) and blend it on high until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cheese sauce back into the pan and bring it to a low simmer. Add the fresh or frozen broccoli florets and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes or until it's to your desired preference. Don't let the broccoli overcook, you want it to keep it's bright green color.
- Taste the soup and add more salt to taste if you like. Based on your preference, you might want to add more vegetable broth to thin it out. (I prefer a thicker soup because the consistency reminds me of my favorite Panera’s dairy-based broccoli cheese soup but it’s up to you.) Garnish each bowl with red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, or chives.
