Ingredients
Scale
1 large head of cauliflower, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes
Add chopped cauliflower and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until cauliflower is very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the soaked cashews.
Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a high-speed blender. Add the drained cashews, hot sauce, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add a splash more broth or water until you reach your desired consistency.
Return the soup to the pot and heat through gently if needed. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve hot.
Notes
For extra heat, increase the amount of hot sauce.
Garnish with fresh chives or a drizzle of vegan ranch for serving.
Ensure your cashews are fully softened for the creamiest texture.
