Creamy Cheddar broccoli soup (no cheese, no cream)

Best soup I’ve ever made and it’s my own recipe! So creamy and healthful! Everyone loved it! FYI, I've also swapped in carrots or mixed vegetables instead of broccoli--the key is the cashew nuts and beans for creaminess and protein. 

- Sautée 1 large onion, 4 large cloves garlic, 3 stalks chopped celery 

Add, boil, and blend:

- 2 boxes chicken or veggie stock 

- 2 cans white beans 

- lots and lots of broccoli (fresh or frozen)—

- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional) 

- 1 cup cashew nuts 

- 1 tbsp nutmeg 

-salt and pepper to taste 

- serve with Parmesan croutons
