Jessica's Creamy Broccoli Soup recipe: 

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 small yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 small head broccoli, chopped, stems removed
• 1 can full fat coconut milk
• 1 cup veggie broth (or bone broth, if desired)
• ⅓ cup raw cashews
• 1 cup spinach (when I double the recipe, I always just dump an entire bag in - it tastes the same - more is always better, right?)
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste.

1. In a large pot, heat the oil and toss in the onion. Sauté for 4 minutes, then add in the garlic for 1 minute.
2. Add the broccoli and stir for 2 minutes.
3. Add the coconut milk and broth and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add the cashews and simmer for 5 minutes. Cashews will be nicely softened and make for a creamy soup once blended.
5. Carefully pour into a large blender.
6. Add the spinach, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and salt and pepper.
7. Blend until smooth.
