I added a dash of cayenne pepper but other than that, it was great. Will make again. We should start an Eat to Live tab to allrecipes.com Thanks for sharing.
Truly, truly, truly delicious. I've searched far and wide for the perfect vegan broccoli soup, and this one is the best, bar none. I happen to love heavy cream and was about to resort to it until I found this recipe. It's so creamy! And it's not cashew-y at all (not that there'd be anything wrong with that). Another cow can live in peace. My only tweak was to use Salish alderwood smoked sea salt instead of regular. I'll say again -- delicious. I might be able to hang with this vegan thing after all.
Delicious! I added three chopped carrots, exchanged an alternative salt product for the salt, and use used only one potato. This recipe is a comfort food without the guilt.
An amazing recipe!! After reading reviews saying it "needed something" I added 1 tsp dried dill 1/2 tsp dried rosemary an 1 tsp dried parsley when I added in the 4 cups of vegetable broth and the flavor turned out phenomenal.
Picking really good vegan recipes can be a crapshoot as they sometimes combine one or more ingredients to replace a tried and true one... like milk/cream in this case. This one makes cream by blending cashews with broth. If not told beforehand many people eating this soup would not identify cashews being used as the taste is surprisingly subtle. Perhaps it shouldn t be surprising as almond or soy milk might work fine here if subbed for cashew cream. For us this soup seriously needed seasoning. Having made that adjustment it was pretty good but more tinkering is needed to take this up a notch... like a glug of dry white wine. Overall a healthy choice but we used a low sodium broth and omitted the salt given the relative high sodium content for just one bowl of soup. Nakkeya thank you for creating this recipe.
Added 1/4 cup nutritional yeast and herb de provence. Also, did 4 cups broth in pot, and then used water to mix with cashews. YUM!!!! my kids LOVED it. And my daughter who is the BIGGEST fan of the real one with cheese- she asked for seconds!
LOVED IT!!! Never used cashew cream and didnt know what it was until I found this recipe. Now I use cashew cream all the time. This is an easy tasty recipe. I add nutritional yeast to my serving bowl for a little cheesy flavor!! This is a keeper.
I am new to vegan cooking and looking for something I could make ahead and freeze for quick lunches on the go. I loved it!!! Just what I needed. I did make a few adjustments. I substituted one cup of vegetable broth with coconut milk when blending it with the cashews and cut the cashews to 1/2 cup. This is going in my box of staple recipes. You should try it!
So Delicious!! Entire family loved it. I just added a large carrot with the broccoli. Will make again and again...a new favorite!!
I am only giving three stars because the soup is only okay unless you doctor it up. It s pretty bland without some extra Ingredients. Following other reviews we added three tablespoons nutritional yeast teaspoon lemon juice and 3/4 teaspoon brown mustard to the cashew blend. This made the soup cheesy. It was better but still not perfect. We then added to our bowls a splash of franks hot sauce and some shredded follow your heart vegan cheese. After those changes it was terrific! My daughter ate two bowls and can t wait to have left overs today.
