Plant-Based Cream of Celery Soup 🤍💚

This has been one of my favorite plant-based soups of ALL TIME. It's a bit of a plant-based showoff as it's decadent, indulgent, and nutritious. Actually, it's very nutritious!

The luscious factor comes from 2/3 cup cashews, but spread throughout the giant pot of soup it's quite reasonable IMHO. It's got over half a head of cauliflower in there, and a huge handful of celery ribs, and the usual suspects: onion, garlic, rosemary and thyme, etc.

The original recipe is from blissfulbasil.com (it's called Vegan Cream of Celery Soup on there). I'll get my version written out in full if anyone's interested, but for now here are my adjustments today:

– No oil (I don't think I've ever made this with the oil!)
– Slowly saute veggies for longer
– Replace veggie broth with equivalent water plus 1 tbsp @veeatcookbake vegan chicken bouillon powder, but I've made it with veg broth in the past
– lower salt to 1/2 tsp sea salt plus more to taste
– And I used the wonderful hand-crank pepper grinder @dugasjames got me years ago to grind in fine, medium, and coarsely ground black pepper
– Finish with just a small splash more of lemon juice
