Amazing broccoli soup I found on the web. WOW!!! Please try and don't think awful cabbagey taste when you make this. It is a revelation of good tasting greens combined to a perfect ratio where broccoli isn't dominating the entire dish. If you are not fond of celery taste, reduce to half from the recipe. And if you don't need the large quantities I post for, please check out the author's page online http://www.hummusapien.com/vegan-cream-broccoli-soup/
Thank you @Hummusapien
Great as a main dish (school lunch) with added roasted bread dices (croutons) with herbs, alfalfa, sunflower seeds, a swirl of creamy balsamico...

1

Soak cashews in water for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Quick method: boiling water over them and soak for 15 minutes.
2

Add oil to large pot over medium heat
3

Once hot, add diced onion and pinch of salt and sauteed for ca. 3min; in my case I chop them with my thermomix (tmx) at speed 5 for a few seconds
4

Add chopped celery and carrots (in thermomix 5sec at speed 4.5)
5

Sauté for another 5min.
6

Add garlic (tmx speed 8) and chopped broccoli (tmx speed 4.5)

Sauté for several minutes
8

Add 10c of water, salt and pepper
9

Bring to a boil and let simmer for 15min
10

Drain cashews
11

In blender blend cashews and leftover water until smooth without lumps. With tmx speed 10 for 2.5 min at temp 70℃
12

Blend broccoli mixture while cashews are being made to cream (I used an electric blending stick)
13

When consistency of broccoli resembles puree, add cashew cream and stir in well together with some added salt and pepper

After tasting, now would be the perfect time to add final salt and pepper

Stir and serve
