'Creamy' broccoli soup
Creamy without a single drop of cream
A super creamy soup and not one drop of cream in it. It’s the cashew nuts that give it a lovely texture and a much healthier content. Broccoli is considered a super-veg and not for nothing; packed with vital nutrient like protein, fibre, minerals and a special phytonutrient called sulforaphane, believed to have anti-cancer properties, as early lab studies indicate.

Ingredients
1 medium onion, chopped
450g broccoli florets
1 tablespoon good quality, organic bouillon powder
1 litre / 4½ cups water
70g / ½ cup raw cashew nuts
Salt and pepper to taste
Nut meg (optional)
450g broccoli florets
1 tablespoon good quality, organic bouillon powder
1 litre / 4½ cups water
70g / ½ cup raw cashew nuts
Salt and pepper to taste
Nut meg (optional)
Preparation
- Place the chopped onion and broccoli florets in the pan. Add the bouillon powder and water and cover the pan.
- Bring to a boil over a high heat, then reduce the heat and cook the broccoli until it is just soft, but not mushy – about 7 minutes. Add the cashews and turn off the heat. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the contents of the pot to the blender. Blend at a high speed for 2-3 minutes to a smooth, pale green soup. Return the soup to the pan. Adjust seasoning and add nutmeg if using.
- To serve, heat up the soup gently and divide between 4 bowls.
TIP: Make sure you use raw cashew nuts. They provide more iron, copper and zinc than all other nuts and they also contain plenty of high quality protein.
