This velvety soup builds its base from tender broccoli, potato, and a classic aromatic trio of onion, garlic, and celery, all simmered in vegetable broth until completely soft. A quick blend of soaked cashews adds a rich, creamy texture without any heavy dairy in sight, while a bright hit of lemon juice and a touch of nutritional yeast round out the flavor with a subtle savory depth. Olive oil forms the cooking base from the very first step, keeping things firmly in line with Mediterranean-style cooking. A pinch of thyme and nutmeg adds warmth, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes on top brings just the right amount of heat if you want it. Every component here leans on vegetables, legumes-adjacent cashews, and good olive oil, making this a comforting, produce-forward bowl that fits naturally into a Mediterranean way of eating. It's the kind of soup you'll want in regular rotation — simple, wholesome, and full of flavor.
