How to Make Vegan Broccoli and Parmesan Soup

STEP ONE: Into a small saucepan filled, add cashews and just enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and allow cashews to boil for 8 minutes. Drain cashews.

STEP TWO: Into a Dutch oven pot on medium heat, add butter. When butter is melted, add onions. Saute 3 minutes, or until lightly browned.

STEP THREE: To the pot with onions, add cashews, potatoes, broccoli, and chicken-style broth. Bring just to a simmer; do not boil. Cover and cook 10 minutes, or until potatoes and broccoli are tender. Remove from heat.

STEP FOUR: Stir in pesto.

STEP FIVE: Transfer soup to a high-speed blender.  Blend the soup until smooth or to desired consistency. Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to do this step in two batches.

STEP SIX: Add parmesan cheese and stir gently to blend. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

To serve:

STEP SEVEN: Ladle into soup bowls, top with additional parmesan, and serve hot.
