Directions
Put the cashews and 1 cup of the vegetable stock into a blender.
Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
Put the remaining 4 cups vegetable stock, the potatoes and the onion into a large pot.
Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in the broccoli and basil and return to a simmer.
Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the reserved cashew mixture, the salt, the pepper and bring just to a simmer.
Remove from the heat, transfer about half of the soup to a blender and puree.
Return the purée to the pot and stir well.
Serve immediately.
