Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. 

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a high-powered blender. Add the cashews, vegetable broth, almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Blend until smooth and combined.
