-2 potatoes, cubed
-1 medium onion, finely chopped
-3 cloves garlic, minced
-4 cups fresh chopped broccoli
-1 teaspoon basil
-1 teaspoon sea salt
-pepper to taste

Mix vegetable broth powder and water together. Place the cashews and 2 cups of the vegetable broth in the blender. Blend until smooth. Put the remaining cups of vegetable broth in a pot. Add potatoes, garlic and onions, bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 min or until potatoes are tender. Stir in the broccoli and basil and cook for another 10-15 minutes. Stir in the cashew cream mixture, sea salt and pepper, simmering for another few minutes. Scoop about 4 cups of soup into a blender and blend until creamy. Add mixture back to soup. Serve with "Parmesan cheese topping"
