Broccoli Cheese Soup

  • In a large pot sauté your chopped leek, carrot and celery in olive oil for 5 minutes until translucent. Add in the garlic and stir continuously for 1 minute.
  • Next, add in your chopped potatoes, cashews, veggie broth, turmeric, and nutritional yeast. Mix and bring to a light boil and simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are cooked.
  • Transfer your soup into a blender and blend until completely smooth. Blend in batches if needed.
  • Transfer back into the pot and add in the chopped broccoli & lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the broccoli cook for a further 5 minutes to soften slightly.
  • The amount of salt will vary based on how much sodium is in your veggie broth! Don't forget the pepper as it really makes the flavors come together!

Tempeh Bacon

  • Make your marinade by mixing all of the ingredients together in a small container.
  • Slice your tempeh into strips and place the strips in the marinade. Let the tempeh marinate for a minimum of 10 minutes.
  • Cook your tempeh in the air fryer at 400f for 7 minutes or pan fry for a few minutes over medium heat.
  • Add your tempeh bacon on top of your broccoli cheese soup along with some fresh chives and enjoy!
