In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant and golden. Add the vegetable broth , cashews and potatoes, 1 pound frozen broccoli, kosher salt , garlic powder, dill, and onion powder. Bring to a boil then reduce to a rapid simmer, and simmer about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and falling apart when pricked with a fork.

When the potatoes are tender, use a ladle to transfer everything to a blender. Hold the top tight and blend everything for a minute or two until fully creamy. (This quantity just fits in a standard blender.) Return to the pot over low heat.

Meanwhile, rinse the other 1 pound of broccoli florets under warm water until defrosted. Chop finely with a knife.

When the soup base has been blended and returned to the pot, stir in the chopped broccoli, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and the shredded carrot. Cook for 5 minutes.
