Creating Vegan Broccoli Soup is straightforward and rewarding. Follow these steps for a delightful culinary experience:

1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Onions: Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Incorporate Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the pot, stirring to combine.
5. Pour in Broth: Pour the vegetable broth over the broccoli mixture and bring to a boil.
6. Simmer: Reduce heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
7. Blend Cashews: While the soup is simmering, drain the soaked cashews and blend them with the almond milk until smooth.
8. Combine Mixtures: Once the broccoli is soft, remove the pot from heat and carefully blend the soup using an immersion blender until creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches.
9. Add Cashew Cream: Stir in the blended cashew and almond milk mixture. Mix well until combined.
10. Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, nutmeg, and lemon juice to enhance the flavor. Adjust according to your preference.
11. Serve Warm: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
