Notes
Garnishes! Level-up your soup by adding a swirl of cashew cream, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and fresh herbs.
Want a thicker soup? Add more broccoli and peas. If it's too thick for you, simply add more water and season to taste. Broccoli can be a little tricky to measure precisely, which is why adjustments are sometimes necessary.
If you finish blending the soup and it's too thin, try this: Add additional fresh broccoli into a microwave-safe bowl with an inch or two of water, cover with a paper towel, and microwave for about 2 minutes. Drain out the water and add the steamed broccoli to the blender and blend again!
