Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 an onion, chopped
  • 1-2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 4-5 large carrots, chopped
  • 1 large potato, peeled and chopped
  • 2-3 cups broccoli florets, in large pieces for easy removal
  • 2-3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups almond milk (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast – optional, see notes

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, celery, carrots, and potato. Sauté until softened, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add broccoli, vegetable broth, and almond milk. Simmer until bubbly and broccoli is bright green, about 5 minutes.
  3. Using tongs, pull out most of the broccoli pieces and set aside.
  4. Blend the soup (sans broccoli) to a super creamy consistency. This will likely need to be done in batches.
  5. Return the blended soup to the pot; stir in the reserved broccoli and nutritional yeast (if using) and salt.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve warm.

Notes

- For extra creaminess, try adding 1/4 cup of raw cashews (soaked in hot water for 15 minutes and drained) to the blender with the soup base.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend all the broccoli directly into the soup. For more texture, reserve half and add it back in at the end.
- Storage: Leftover vegan broccoli soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It also freezes well for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently on the stovetop.
