Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 medium broccoli cut into medium-sized florets
- 2 medium carrots peeled and sliced into thick pieces
- 2 stalks celery diced into thick pieces
- 1 medium potato peeled and diced into 1” pieces
- 2-3 garlic cloves peeled and chopped
- ½” ginger peeled and chopped
- 1 onion diced
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil
- ¼ cup raw cashews plus ¾ cup water
- 4 cup liquid (2 cup water plus 2 cup vegetable stock or chicken stock)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot on medium heat
- Add chopped garlic, ginger, onion, and saute for 2-3 min or until translucent.
- Then add carrot, celery, and potatoes; mix well.
- Add liquid and bring mixture to boil
- Season with salt and pepper and cook the veggies on low heat for 10 min with the cover on.
- Meanwhile, boil raw cashews in a microwave for 3 min. Let it cool slightly and blend in a blender to get a creamy paste.
- Add broccoli florets and cashew paste to the soup mixture, mix well and continue cooking for another 5 min or until the broccoli is tender.
- Finally using a hand blender, blend the soup mixture to get a smooth consistency. Serve warm.
Notes
- If you are not a fan of ginger, then you can skip it.
- I roughly cut all the veggies (except potato) for this soup as I blend everything in the end. And it takes less time during preparation as opposed to cutting them fine and evenly sized. Potato is the only ingredient in this soup that takes more time to cook. Therefore, I prefer to cut it into equal and small pieces to reduce the cooking time.
