Instructions
- Heat large soup pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 2-3 minutes.
- Add butter and flour to create roux. Stir with a spoon for a few minutes to let the flour cook, it should look like a pale yellow paste.
- Add broth, poultry seasoning, thyme and stir. Bring everything to a boil. Lower heat, simmer for 15-20 minutes until veggies are tender and soup has thickened.
- While soup is simmering, make the cashew cream. Add the cashews and filtered water to a high speed blender and add nutritional yeast if using. Blend until you have a smooth, creamy mixture. Set aside.
- Towards the end of simmering add your frozen broccoli, peas, and corn. They only need a few minutes to cook through.
- Remove soup from heat. Stir in the cashew cream. Adjust seasonings, adding salt and pepper to taste. Add parsley, if using.
- Serve soup in bowls, top with more parlsey if using. Serve with biscuits or crusty bread.
Notes
*If you have a high speed blender, soaking isn't always necessary. If you don't have time to soak cashews you can put them in boiling water for a few minutes. I actually don't soak my cashews most of the time.
