Vegetarian Broccoli Cheese Soup

I know this doesn't have much protein in it but I have to tell you that this soup is absolutely delicious!!! I'm sure you could toss in some vegetarian meat crumbles to up the protein. Right now the only protein is the cashews.

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups water
1 2/3 cups raw, chopped carrots
1 1/2 cups raw, chopped potatoes
1 cup onion cut into chunks
1/2 cup raw cashews
1 3/4 tsps salt
1# frozen broccoli or 4 cups fresh, chopped into small pieces

Directions:

Lightly boil carrots, potatoes and onion in the water until tender, 15-20 minutes. Put the cashews and salt in the blender alongwith part of the vegetables and part of the water from the saucepan. Blend for a full minute until very smooth. Empty blender and blend rest of the ingredients from the pan. Cook the broccoli until tender. Combine all ingredients. Reheat and serve.

Variation:

Sliced or chopped, cooked carrots and potatoes may be used for part or all of the broccoli. Or use other favorite vegetables, such as frozen, mixed vegetables, in place of the broccoli.
