Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets about 1 medium head
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
  • ½ cup raw cashews soaked for 2+ hours or boiled 10 mins
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast the not-so-secret cheesy imposter
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp turmeric for color and sass
  • ½ tsp salt or more if you're salty
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for heat or extra flair

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until they gossip and get soft.
  • Toss in broccoli florets. Stir them around like you’re mixing drama in a group chat. Cook for 4 minutes.
  • Pour in almond milk and veggie broth. Bring it all to a simmer, then lower the heat like you're ghosting someone.
  • Let it simmer for 10 minutes, or until broccoli becomes fork-tender and emotionally vulnerable.
  • Meanwhile, blend soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, mustard, turmeric, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  • Add everything (broccoli party and cashew mix) into a blender. Blend until silky smooth. Or go immersion style if you’re a modern woman.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like it spicy like your DMs.
