  • 1 1/2 cups kale, de-stemmed and chopped

Equipment

  • Saucepan x 2
  • High speed blender

Instructions 

  • Start by boiling the carrot and potatoes in a saucepan for 12-15 minutes, until fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, add the onion and cabbage to a different saucepan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they start to soften. Then, add the mushrooms and sauté for a further 2 minutes.
  • Add the broccoli, water, 1 cup of the plant based milk and tamari. Stir together and leave to simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and soft.
  • Once the potatoes and carrots are cooked, drain them, but retain and set aside 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Transfer the vegetables to a blender or food processor together with the cashews, nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt, the rest of the plant based milk, lemon juice, and the cooking water. Blend until very smooth.
  • Stir the 'cheese' sauce into the saucepan with the broccoli. Simmer for a further 5 or so minutes to allow the soup to thicken, adding the kale around half way through to allow it to wilt.
