01
Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a big pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots, and cook them gently until they’re soft and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes. Toss in the potatoes, cauliflower, bay leaves, thyme, and oregano, and let everything cook together for another 5 minutes or so.

Step 2
Next, pour in the vegetable broth along with 6 cups of corn kernels. Bring the mixture up to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until all the veggies are tender, which should take around 35 to 40 minutes. Once the veggies are soft, fish out the bay leaves and discard them.

Step 3
While the soup is simmering, grab the remaining 2 cups of corn kernels, cashews, and nutritional yeast and pop them into a blender. Add a few big spoonfuls of the hot broth to help everything blend smoothly. If your blender is small, do this in batches, filling it no more than halfway each time. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel and hold it down while you pulse a few times, then let it blend until silky smooth.

Step 4
Pour the creamy cashew mixture back into the pot and stir it all together. Give the soup a taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Warm it through for a few minutes, then it’s ready to enjoy!

How to serve
Serve it hot with crusty bread or a simple green salad on the side. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro or chives adds a nice fresh touch. For extra richness, drizzle a little coconut cream on top.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to keep it creamy. This soup also freezes well—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
