Raw Broccoli Hemp Soup

May 30, 2011 by christine

I’m a little sad our 3 day weekend is over, seems like I was just celebrating Friday night. And that the weather was mostly rainy, windy, and chilly all weekend. Where’s summer? But we had a productive and relaxing day at home and picked up the first half of the furniture for our new home office at Ikea. Now I’m patiently waiting for the room to get painted. That’s right, we’re having a contractor paint it since I’m horrible at wall painting. We decided to paint the office in our last house a bright, energizing red and that was a trying weekend! Lesson learned! I have skills with computers and in the kitchen, but not wall painting and I’m okay with that. :-) This was my first experience using Angie’s List to find a good contractor, but the one I picked is in demand apparently and we’ll be waiting a week or so. It’s not unreasonable to wait a little for quality work, but impatient me wants the new office ready ASAP. Oh well, just have to pass the time playing in the kitchen. :-)

Finding ways to enjoy raw broccoli is tough for me since it can be hard on my stomach, I usually end up lightly steaming it or pureeing it into soups and smoothies. My relaxing weekend at home gave me time to experiment with another raw broccoli soup that includes another one of my favorite ingredients, hemp seeds.

Raw Broccoli Hemp Soup

  • 1/4 cup shelled hemp seeds
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli
  • 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 1/8 tsp. turmeric
  • 1 tsp. curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 clove garlic (optional)
  • pinch of cayenne powder

Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth, creamy texture. Enjoy. Makes 1 large or 2 small servings.

I adore how fast and easy raw soups come together in a blender and how easy the clean up is after.

I love the color of the soup and pretty sure the walls in our new home office will be a similar color, it’s both vibrant and soothing for me.

I paired the soup with a huge organic artichoke I splurged on at Whole Foods, they were $2 each – but worth it!

And simply mixing apple cider vinegar and Vegenaise makes a wonderful dip for the artichoke leaves.

The soup has a mild broccoli flavor with a creamy, garlicy kick of a nacho dip. The pinch of cayenne adds a little heat and seems to amplify the curry flavor. For me this is another great way to enjoy raw broccoli because it’s not bloating and much easier on my stomach.

What’s your favorite way to enjoy broccoli?

    Ooh this looks wonderful! Although I am worried it won’t set well with my stomach either. with broccoli I mostly go for steaming or quickly sauteeing it. I think I would like this as a dip as well, by using less water for the recipe. I love hemp seeds to death so I think I’ll be making this asap!

    What a great recipe! I haven’t tried a raw soup with broccoli yet. Love the nooch and cayenne.

    Red walls..yes! Our dining room is red and I love it!

    I’m sad about the end of the long weekend, too. Fortunately, I’m taking Friday off for a 3-day trip to Philly soooooo, 3-day work week! Woot!

    “Finding ways to enjoy raw broccoli is tough for me since it can be hard on my stomach”–
    YES me too. Raw brock is a doosie for me and so as much as i love it, have to be really careful about it.

    I love the soup with nooch and hemp seeds,mmm.

    So the fresh arti’s you bought…with ACV and vegenaise…sounds awesome. I love spinach & arti or arti dip. Sounds like a quickie winner to me!

    I usually eat the raw broc on veggie platters and don’t have too big of an issue with it, but it all depends on how much you’re eating I guess :)

    Love artichokes!

      You’re too sweet! :-) True, I’m a bit obsessed with hemp seeds lately, but they’re so easy and versatile to work with! And an awesome source of protein, always important. :-)
