Alissa Cohen's Broccoli Soup (Raw Foods)
"I found this posted on rawfoodtalk.com. "The cumin and sea salt are very important in this recipe, so make sure you have added enough of both of these to bring out the flavor of this soup." The original recipe called for almonds instead of cashews. This was so good I had two bowls!"

Just finished scraping the remnants of this wonderful soup off the bowl. Can't be beat for flavor, simplicity of preparation and flexibility. I used soaked almonds because that is what I had on hand and followed the rest as written. DH and I LOVED it! Served with sprouted grain bread. We're stuffed. Thank you for posting, mliss29! UPDATE: In making this soup again, I changed the method slightly: First I loaded all ingredients except the broccoli in the Vita Mix and blended til smooth. The broccoli went in last for about 2-3 seconds. This way DH had some 'stock' in his soup. He's a happy camper, and that's a good thing! ;) -
I was a bit nervous trying this, but it was actually very good! I topped it with sprouts, as another review suggested. Would omit the oil next time, or at least decrease by half. Thank you for posting this!! -
really good!!! i soaked my nuts first and did a cashew/almond combo...served topped with sproutons of lentil and alfalfa :)...good, filling stuff will be a go to recipe for me from now on... -thanks mliss29 -
Yum. This is very tasty. I didn't have cashews, so used almonds as you said the original recipe had them. This was a thick, filling bowl of soup for my lunch, gobbled down quickly! I might next time add a fresh lime wedge alongside each serving to drizzle on top. Just fantastic. Thanks, mliss29! -
I've never made anything like this - I loved it!! My food processor wasn't big enough to do it all at once, so I ended up doing two batches. I did not add any oil. This recipe is wonderful in the summer and I'll be making again once the broccoli is ready in my garden.
