To a large pot on medium heat, add the chopped onion and gently saute until translucent and fragrant, stirring frequently.

Add in the potato, peas, broccoli, spinach and cashews, followed by the vegetable stock or water. Season to taste then bring to a boil.

Lower the heat and allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes until all the veg is cooked through. Remove from the heat add to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth then add back into the pot. Adjust water and seasonings based on your personal preference, and crush in the garlic before bringing to the boil one more time.

Serve piping hot, garnished with olive oil, plant-based cream, fresh herbs or lemon juice as desired.
