Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 4 cups broccoli
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
Wash and cut the broccoli into florets. Add the broccoli to the pot and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the pot to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.
While the soup simmers, place raw almonds in a bowl and cover with hot water, letting them soak for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Once the broccoli is tender, add the soaked almonds to the pot.
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree.
Return the pot to the heat and stir in salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and nutritional yeast. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Simmer gently for another 5 minutes to meld flavors together.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
