"Because of the broccoli, onion, sweet potato, and homemade vegetable stock, this is a healthy recipe. When combined with the protein-rich quinoa, it also filling and satisfying. It has become a staple on our menu. Garnish with broccoli, parsley, or dill."

  1. Bring 2 cups water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. Remove soup from the heat. Puree with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth. Season with nutmeg, garam masala, and pepper.
  4. Combine 1/2 cup water and cashews in a high-speed blender; puree until smooth.
  5. Pour cashew mixture into the soup and bring to a boil.
  6. Place 1/3 cup cooked quinoa in the center of each serving bowl; ladle soup around quinoa.

Footnotes

  • Cook's Notes:
  • The quinoa complements the soup well if made with vegetable or chicken stock instead of water.
  • Use frozen broccoli if preferred. Try adding 1/2 small onion, chopped and sautéed, when cooking the quinoa. You can also add 1 small carrot and 1 small parsnip, peeled and grated, halfway through the cooking time.
