Cheesy Vegan Broccoli Soup

This easy comforting Cheesy Vegan Broccoli Soup is a perfect weeknight meal. Raw cashews add a creamy texture and nutty taste. Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor, as well as B vitamins.

I love easy recipes that don’t take a lot of time or effort. This Cheesy Vegan Broccoli Soup is one of those recipes. It can be made in no time – perfect for a weeknight meal.

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor to this soup, as well as a load of B vitamins. Nutritional yeast is a must have in my house. I always have a jarful in my pantry. I put it on spaghetti, salads, and popcorn.

Most of the time, I prefer a creamy soup over a chunky one, but this time I decided to add chunks of broccoli to highlight their wonderful flavor.

Raw cashews add a creamy texture and nutty taste. They are another great staple to have around for making sauces and soups. I have used them in many recipes, like Lemon Garlic Pasta and Creamy Roasted Cauliflower and Garlic Soup.

Even though the weather has been warming up, I still have to have my soup. I can eat soup anytime of the year, even in the Summer in scorching hot Tucson. I am a little weird that way.

This is one of many soups that I have created recently. Most of the soup recipes have been focused on just a few ingredients, because I am all about quick and easy lately. I have been busy with a Vegan Gluten Free Recipe eBook, as well as another on the way.
