• 1 x 12-ounce bag frozen artichoke hearts (or sub fresh or canned hearts)
• 1 1/2 cups veggie broth
• 1 1/2 cups cashew milk made with the NutraMilk
• 1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• 6 sage leaves or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• a squeeze of lemon, to taste
• pepper to taste

Garnish

Cashew milk

• 1 cup (150g) cashews

INSTRUCTIONS

For cashew Milk ( I used some previously made frozen cashew milk)

• Start by making fresh cashew milk with the NutraMilk:
  • Place cashews in the NutraMilk container.
  • Press Butter cycle, set for 3 minutes.
  • Press Start.
  • Open the container lid, add water and replace lid.
  • Press Mix (do not change the default Mix time).
  • Press Start.
  • Press Dispense.
  • Press Start and open spigot to fill your storage container.

• Sauté the onion in olive oil, over medium-high heat in a medium pot, stirring for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and lower heat to medium. Cook garlic until fragrant, 2-3 more minutes. Add celery, sauté 1 minute. Add cauliflower or potatoes, artichoke hearts, broth, cashew milk, salt and sage (or thyme). Bring to a boil, cover, lower heat and simmer until cauliflower or potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes.

• Transfer soup to the NutraMilk and process until smooth and creamy.
• Place back in the pot over very low heat. Add a little squeeze of lemon, and swirl in sour cream or coconut cream if using.
• Taste, and adjust salt. Season with pepper.
