Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Raw almonds
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 liter Vegetable broth
- 500 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
Instructions
Soak the raw almonds in hot water for about 30 minutes to soften them.
While the almonds are soaking, chop the onion and garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes.
Drain the soaked almonds and add them to the pot.
Pour the vegetable broth and water into the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool down slightly.
Using a blender or immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Be careful when blending hot liquids.
Return the soup to the pot and stir in the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast.
Reheat gently if needed and adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of toasted almond flakes or fresh herbs if desired.
