Ingredients

Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen broccoli
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 (1 oz) frozen spinach square
  • ½ zucchini, chopped
  • ⅓ cup cashews
  • 3 cups vegetable stock
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (or substitute with parmesan)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Topping (Optional)

  • Additional peas for topping

Instructions

  1. Simmer the Vegetables: Add frozen broccoli, frozen peas, frozen spinach square, chopped zucchini, cashews, and vegetable stock to a saucepan. Heat on medium-low and let the mixture simmer gently for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the cashews are softened.
  2. Blend the Soup: Carefully transfer the warm soup mixture to a blender. Add nutritional yeast and garlic powder. Blend until the soup reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan to purée the soup.
  3. Season the Soup: Taste the blended soup and adjust the salt and pepper according to your preference. The saltiness needed will depend on how salted your vegetable stock is.
  4. Prepare Optional Topping: If desired, heat additional peas in a separate saucepan until warmed through, and then add them on top of the soup as a fresh garnish.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the creamy soup into bowls, garnish with the warm peas if using, and serve immediately for a wholesome, comforting meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute parmesan cheese for nutritional yeast if preferred.
  • Using an immersion blender is a convenient way to blend the soup without transferring to a separate blender.
  • The soup can be adjusted in thickness by adding more or less vegetable stock.
  • Cashews add creaminess and a subtle nutty flavor, but can be omitted for a lighter version.
  • Ensure the vegetable stock is well-flavored as it forms the base of the soup’s taste.
