Ingredients

Use any mixture of vegetables that will equal 30 oz.       

  • 3 oz cashews, soaked
  • 5 oz onions, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 18 oz potatoes, cubed
  • 10 oz cabbage, chopped small
  • 6 oz mushrooms, chopped
  • 4 oz carrots, chopped
  • 3 oz celery, chopped
  • 2 oz red pepper, chopped
  • 6 cups water* divided
  • 12 oz cooked or canned white beans
  • .6 Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a large pot add onions. Sauté until they begin to caramelize. Learn how to sauté without oil.
  2. Add garlic, and cook for another minute, taking care that it doesn’t burn then add the potatoes, cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, celery, red pepper and about 2 cups of the water. Bring to boil, cover and cook until the vegetables are tender. (If using Instant Pot, cook 2 minutes then quick release).
  3. Discard the soaking water from the cashews. Add cashews to VitaMix with 2 cups of water. Blend until smooth then add this to the potato cabbage mixture.
  4. Add the white beans, nutritional yeast, and salt. Stir to combine. As desired, thin the soup with the remainder of the water.
  5. Divide the soup into 6 servings. (For more accuracy in dividing the soup place a strainer over a large pot. Ladle/pour soup mixture into strainer. Let the vegetables drain then portion. Then add the broth). 
  6. Store leftovers in refrigerator and use within 5 days or freeze.
