Instructions
- Blend the white beans, cashews or tofu, miso, lemon juice, lemon zest, nutritional yeast and stock until smooth. If using cashews, blend about a minute, rest 5 minutes, then blend again until completely smooth. Set aside.
- Roast the corn, if using: char corn cobs over a grill or gas flame until the kernels are mostly blackened, then cut off the kernels. For frozen corn, roast in a skillet with 1 teaspoon oil for 4 to 5 minutes until golden.
- Chop the vegetables into similar-sized pieces. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté about 10 seconds, then add onion and a good pinch of salt and cook until translucent.
- Stir in tomato paste, herbs, spices and a splash of stock. Cook about 30 seconds.
- Add carrots and celery with a pinch of salt, cover and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add bell pepper, cover and cook another 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
- Add the roasted corn, white beans, broccoli, salt and the bean purée. Rinse the blender with stock and add that too. Stir, partially cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until thick and creamy.
- Taste and adjust with salt or lemon juice. If too thick, add a splash of stock. Serve as desired.
