VEGAN BROCCOLI SOUP WITH CASHEW CREAM
This nourishing, three-vegetable soup is thick and creamy, even without dairy. It takes very little skill and only 25 minutes to make, but success lies in proper blending: Use a high-powered blender for the creamiest soup, or let it go a few minutes longer in a standard blender. Fennel and celery provide welcome depth, and the quick cashew cream feels luxurious spooned over the top or stirred right in. Save any extra to drizzle on other blended soups or even roasted vegetables. Finish this vibrant bowl with celery leaves, parsley or dill, and two basic but crucial ingredients: an extra drizzle of olive oil and a dusting of freshly ground pepper.

Steps:
- Place the cashews in a blender along with a pinch sea salt. Pour the boiling water on top. Cover and let sit to allow the cashews to soften while you make the soup.
- Combine the broccoli, fennel, celery, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon sea salt and 3 cups water in a pot and cover loosely with a lid, leaving a small opening so steam can escape (this helps the soup keep its bright-green color). Bring to a boil over high, then steam vegetables over medium until they are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Purée the cashews and water until completely smooth and frothy (the cashew cream should be the consistency of very loose whipped cream). Add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if desired to thin the mixture. Spoon the cashew cream into a bowl.
- Working in batches if necessary, transfer the steamed vegetables and their cooking liquid to the blender and purée on high until completely smooth and frothy. Taste, and add more salt as needed. Divide the soup among bowls and top with cashew cream, celery leaves, dill, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low. Add onions, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring often and adding a splash or so of water if the bottom of pan gets too brown, until golden brown, 30-40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add cashews, sugar, red pepper flakes, and 3 cups water and bring mixture to a simmer. Cook until vegetables are very soft and losing their structure, 10-15 minutes.
- Blend one-third of sugar snap peas with one-third of vegetable mixture in a blender, adding some cooking liquid from vegetable mixture as needed to thin, until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Press purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium saucepan; discard solids. Working in 2 batches, repeat with remaining peas and vegetable mixture, adding water as needed if you run out of cooking liquid. If soup is still very thick, thin with water until you get a velvety, pourable consistency. (You should have about 7 cups soup.)
- Stir vinegar into soup; season with more salt and pepper and warm over medium-low until heated through.
- Serve soup topped with scallions and potato chips.
- Do Ahead
- Soup can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat over medium-low, thinning with water as needed until pourable.
CREAMY CASHEW BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Growing up, I spent a lot of time in vegetarian restaurants even though I was not vegetarian, just on a quest to discover delicious, healthy foods that would help my dad to lose weight and feel good. I was already a fan of butternut squash soup when I was introduced to using cashews as a substitute for cream. This soup is loaded with flavor, fiber and protein. One of my favorite things to do is to ask my guests to figure out the mystery ingredient; nobody ever guesses that I have swapped out the heavy cream for the healthy, raw cashews. This soup is perfect for your vegetarian and vegan guests.

Steps:
- In large stockpot or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the cashews and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent and the cashews have slightly browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the squash, broth, ginger, cumin, coriander, curry powder, turmeric and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and bring the soup to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook the soup until the squash is easily pierced with a knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover the soup and let it cool for 15 minutes.
- Starting on slow speed and increasing to high, purée the soup in small batches, in a blender until smooth. Place a towel over the top of the blender in case of any splatters. You can also use an immersion blender (let the soup remain in the pot), but it will take longer to purée until smooth.
- If using a blender, return the soup to the pot, add the coconut milk and rosemary sprig, and cook over low heat, covered, until slightly thickened, for about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready. If serving the soup later, while reheating the soup, thin it out with more broth or coconut milk until the desired consistency.

Tips:
- Soaking cashews overnight or for at least 4 hours is essential for a creamy and smooth soup. This step softens the cashews, making them easier to blend and resulting in a velvety texture.
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor to achieve a perfectly smooth and creamy soup. Regular blenders may not be powerful enough to create the desired consistency.
- For a richer flavor, toast the cashews before making the soup. This step enhances the nutty flavor and adds depth to the soup.
- Add vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions to the soup for added nutrition and flavor. Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the soup intensifies their flavor.
- Experiment with different seasonings and spices to create a unique flavor profile. Common choices include garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, and paprika.
- For a creamy vegan soup, use coconut milk instead of dairy milk. Coconut milk adds a subtle sweetness and richness to the soup.
- Serve the soup with toppings like fresh herbs, croutons, or roasted nuts for added texture and flavor.
