Vegan Garlic Alfredo Sauce

Name: Vegan Garlic Alfredo Sauce
Ingredients: 1 medium white onion, chopped (make sure to measure out 1 1/2 cups (200 g) of chopped onion); 1-2 cups low sodium vegetable broth, separated (240-480 mL); 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt; 1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper; 4 large garlic cloves, minced; 1/2 heaping cup raw whole cashews (75 g, 2.6 oz) (soaked for overnight in hot water if you don't have a high powered blender); 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or more to your taste, I used a bit more, don't omit!); 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (25 g, use less if preferred. Make sure to use an non-synthetic version so it doesn't leave a nasty vitamin taste. I highly recommend Sari brand ); It is not recommended to sub or eliminate any of these ingredients, as I cannot vouch for the results if any are changed. The lemon juice is crucial, as it eliminates any cashew flavor.; Also, if you don't have a high powered blender like a Vitamix, it is crucial to pre-soak the cashews so they soften and the sauce ends up smooth and creamy, and not gritty. Drain them and rinse after soaking.
