    1 hrs 10 mins

Ingredients

  • A couple of cups of water for added moisture
  • A generous cup of quinoa, or more to suit your preference
  • A tablespoon of vegetable oil for cooking
  • A sizable chopped onion to enhance flavor
  • Four cups of flavorful homemade vegetable stock
  • Four cups of freshly chopped broccoli for a nutritious touch
  • A single sweet potato, peeled and cubed into one-inch pieces
  • A sprinkle of salt to season as needed
  • A pinch of nutmeg for a hint of warmth
  • A dash of garam masala for a touch of spice
  • A pinch of ground pepper for extra flavor
  • Cashew Cream:
  • Half a cup of water for a creamy texture
  • Two ounces of raw cashews for a rich and creamy finish

Step 1

Begin by bringing 2 cups of water and quinoa to a lively boil in a saucepan, allowing it to simmer gently until the quinoa reaches a tender consistency, typically around 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2

In a heavy 4-quart pot, warm up some oil over a gentle flame. Introduce the onion and let it cook and swirl until it turns translucent, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Next, mix in the flavorful vegetable stock, along with broccoli, sweet potato, and a dash of salt. Let the soup come to a rolling boil, then lower the heat to a simmer until the broccoli and sweet potato are wonderfully tender, typically around 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 3

Once the soup is done, take it off the heat and transform it into a velvety texture using a hand-held immersion blender. Season the mixture with a pinch of nutmeg, garam masala, and a sprinkle of pepper for that extra kick.

Step 4

In a high-speed blender, blend 1/2 cup of water with cashews until it transforms into a smooth, creamy consistency.

Step 5

Combine the cashew blend with the soup and bring it back to a boil, allowing all the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Step 6

To serve, delicately place 1/3 cup of cooked quinoa in the middle of each serving bowl, then carefully ladle the soup around the quinoa, creating a visually appealing presentation.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your broccoli fresh by storing it in a breathable bag or container in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Make sure to remove any rubber bands or ties to prevent moisture buildup.
  2. 2. Cook a large batch of quinoa and store it in individual portions in airtight containers in the refrigerator. This will make it easy to add a healthy grain to your soup whenever you need a quick meal.
