Vegan Broccoli Cheese Soup

[MiddleEastMilli]

@terracy, there are only 628 calories in a 1/2 cup and that would be divided by the number of portions so it does have less calories than cheddar cheese. Additionally the fats are plant based not animal as in cheese, so the fats in the cashews are healthier than the cheese.

Thanks for your questions. The recipe calls for 4 cups broccoli. I show adding it at the end, after the creamy base is made. I should have called this "Non-Dairy Broccoli Cheese Soup". There are many recipes available these days for non-dairy cheeses. This is one version. Hope that is helpful.

That high-pitched girl sounds weird when she was told about Joann's father... What's up with her? And her question about rinsing nuts? Of course you'd want to rinse it first! What the?

And btw - there ain't cheese?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Recipe comes from my vegan cookbook in which all recipes are nondairy & meat-free. Many vegan cookbooks use titles similar to what they are trying to replace so that people will get the idea of what it should be similar to. Such as "meatballs, cheese sauce, sour cream, ice cream". But I can understand the confusion. I think for YouTube I should have put "nondairy" in the title. I am learning. Thanks for pointing this out.

Looks very tasty, but this soup is NOT low fat. At 1,254 calories and 67% fat for a cup of cashews, it is not only very fatty, it has more calories than a cup of cheddar cheese which has 983 calories and 74% fat.

It looks REALLY good though, and cheese is just so bad for you, I would make this soup with cashew over cheese any day, its just definitely not low fat.

False advertiseing, no cheese.

Thanks for your question. Actually this is a non-dairy cheese-like soup. It is low fat but has a creamy richness of flavor.
