  1. This looks delicious! I have been looking for a gluten free/dairy free version of "Cream" of Broccoli Soup of which I love! Thanks for offering this recipe cause I can't wait to try it out. Question though - do you use regular salted cashews bought at any store or does this require a special type of cashew like raw/un-roasted/un-salted or do you soak these (I've seen that in other recipes to make it easier to puree in the food processor.

  2. It is delicious I make it at least every other week. I have used raw, salted or unsalted, it doesn't seem to matter since you are cooking it. If you use salted you could rinse them first or else use less sea salt. I just puree them with the broccoli and not before hand. Enjoy.
