A friend of mine shared with me a cookbook she bought. In her excitement, she thought, maybe I wouldn't like it, cause its not "raw" and not completely "vegan". I shared with her that its the normal food that inspire my cooked and raw plant based creations! I find that when I show people how simple it is to substitute certain things to make a dish plant based and/or raw, that's when we really get more healthy people...
And guess what? Here's one of the dishes I created inspired from her cookbook...
 |
| Cream of Broccoli and Cheese Soup (Raw Vegan) |
INGREDIENTS
- 6 cups raw broccoli pieces (with stems)
- 1 medium onion
- 1/4 red pepper
- 2 to 3 cups water (depending on thickness)
- 1/2 to 1 tsp himalayan salt (to taste)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp La Chikky Seasonings
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp basil
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp parsely
- 1 cup raw cashews (pre-soaked)
Makes about 50 - 60 oz of soup
Put everything in your Vitamix blender and blend. If you keep your blender running, the engine will automatically turn into a warmer and warm your soup. Now you have warm "raw" plant based soup.
No need to cook all of the nutrients out.
P.S. If you're wondering what cookbook, this recipe was inspired from it's: "Best Gourmet Recipes from the Chefs of Five Loaves Deli and Bakery", by Neva Brackett.
P.S.S. This makes a great item to add to your lunch bag.
