Ingredients

Directions

  2. Run the Hot Soup Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.  Blend for 5 minutes 45 seconds.

Chef's Notes

  • The cashew, hemp, and nutritional yeast mixture replace the traditional cheddar cheese in this recipe for a creamy finish in a soup so delicious you won't miss the cheddar cheese. If you don't want to make it separately, just add all the ingredients in the blend container with the soup ingredients.
  • This hearty soup is versatile and delicious as a dairy-free lunch or a fiber-filled dinner.

  • ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable stock

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup (120 g) cheddar cheese, cut into large chunks

Chef's Notes

  • For just a broccoli soup base, the cheddar may be omitted and replaced with an extra cup of cooked broccoli florets. Pre-shredded cheese may create a thicker soup as it is coated with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
