Ingredients | Broccoli Cheddar & Quinoa Gratin

2 cups water (Optional)

1 cup quinoa, or more to taste

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 large onion, chopped

4 cups homemade vegetable stock

4 cups chopped broccoli

1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

salt to taste

1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste

1 pinch garam masala, or to taste

1 pinch ground pepper to taste

½ cup water (Optional)

2 ounces raw cashews (Optional)

Directions

Bring 2 cups water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Heat oil in a heavy 4-quart pot. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in vegetable stock, broccoli, sweet potato, and salt. Bring soup to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until broccoli and sweet potato are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove soup from the heat. Puree with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth. Season with nutmeg, garam masala, and pepper.

Combine 1/2 cup water and cashews in a high-speed blender; puree until smooth.

Pour cashew mixture into the soup and bring to a boil.

Place 1/3 cup cooked quinoa in the center of each serving bowl; ladle soup around quinoa.

The quinoa complements the soup well if made with vegetable or chicken stock instead of water.

Use frozen broccoli if preferred. Try adding 1/2 small onion, chopped and sautéed, when cooking the quinoa. You can also add 1 small carrot and 1 small parsnip, peeled and grated, halfway through the cooking time.
