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.

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.
