Sylvie's Creamy Vegan Cauliflower Soup Recipe – vegane Blumenkohlsuppe

Method7 steps · about 30 min

1. 1

   Step 1: Roughly chop the onion (1), celery (2 stalks), garlic and yellow pepper (1 medium); reserve the pepper for the sauce. If using a regular blender, first soften the cashews (1 1/2 cups) by boiling in separate water 10–15 minutes, or soaking 5–8 hours in the refrigerator; drain and rinse. A high-speed blender can use the raw cashews directly.

   Uses 1 onion · 2 stalks celery · 1-2 cloves garlic · 1 medium yellow pepper · 1 1/2 cups raw unsalted cashews · Separate water to soften and rinse cashews, only for a regular blender

   Step 2: Cook the prepared onion, celery and garlic over medium-high heat in enough separate water to cover the pot bottom until softened and the onion translucent. Add small splashes if needed to prevent sticking. Keep the measured one cup sauce water andfourcup soup water separate.
