In a large bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
After the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Punch the dough down and divide it into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.
Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover them with a cloth, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the bread bowls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
For the soup, soak cashew nuts in hot water for 15 minutes, then drain.
Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautΓ© until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add chopped broccoli florets and vegetable broth to the pot. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
In a blender, combine soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, almond milk, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
Add the cashew mixture to the pot with broccoli and simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in grated carrot. Adjust seasoning to taste.
To serve, cut off the top of each bread bowl and hollow out the inside.
Ladle the creamy broccoli cheddar soup into the bread bowls and serve immediately.
