Vegan Cream of Celery Soup

The Ingredients

1 large celery stalk

1/2 white onion

1 cup of raw, unsalted cashews

2 tbsp yeast flakes

1 tbsp coconut oil

salt

pepper

kale chips (optional)

First, make some delicious cashew cream. I fill a bowl of cashews (1 cup) with water and let that sit overnight. The cashews get soft enough that they become a delicious cream when blended for a few minutes. Make sure the water is added to make the mixture as creamy as it can be. Set the cashew cream aside. Dice the onion and throw into a pan with some coconut oil. Let cook for a few minutes until almost caramelized. Set aside.

Throw the cashew cream into the blender. Cut the celery into small chunks and throw into the cashew cream. Then, add the onion and blend. Add the yeast flakes. Yeast flakes are a recent discovery of mine and I am so glad I found about this nutritious, cheesy (but not so cheesy) addition to many vegan dishes. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste and heat up in a saucepan. Kale chips add a tasty, nutritious crunch! Enjoy!

I actually stirred the kale chips in because they were so tasty in there!
