Everyone at some point in their life I am sure have tried broccoli soup. I know I have before and I was indifferent about it. It was not until I had copious amounts of broccoli in my fridge that I decided to try them in a soup. So this time I also added potatoes into this soup. What this did was give it a creamy texture that makes it soooo delicious and satisfying. I pair this soup with a salad for a full meal. You could also pour this over rice. I highly recommend this soup.
P.s Vegan options are listed below 🙂
Ingredients
1 tbsp onion, diced
1 potato, peeled, diced small (optional)
1 carrot, peeled and diced into small cubed
3 cups broccoli, (about 1 large head) almost shaved off into tiny pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 -2 tbsp coconut oil or (vegan) butter
1/4 cup to 1/2 cup coconut milk in a can (the thick top)
1/2 cup nutritional yeast (or 1/2 to 1 cup cheddar cheese)
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Broth of choice just enough to cover veg (about 3-4 cups)
Instructions
- Add onions and carrots to a pan with oil of choice. Let them cook together on medium heat until onions are caramelized and carrots soft. About 7 to 10 minutes
- When aeromatics are almost done, add garlic and pepper to the pan until fragrant. About 2 minutes. Careful not to burn.
- Add broth. Let it come to boil. Add potato and broccoli. Let it cook for 7 to 10 minutes until potatoes are soft minutes.
- If using nutritional yeast add it now (wait if using cheese). Then use immersion blender, or add to a big blender. Blend until smooth (I leave a few chunks).
- Add cheese now and lots of love. Taste. It might need some salt and pepper. Stir together. Serve with Joy.
Saving Money:
I purchase my nutritional yeast in bulk at any health food store. It stores well in a glass jar with lid.
Use whatever leftover cheese you have in the fridge. Almost any will do.
Canned coconut milk instead of cream .

Nutritional Yeast is high in B12 and iron!
You can also use cauliflower in this instead of broccoli or as well as broccoli.
Saving Time:
Other than cutting the vegetables this is super simple and quick to prepare. You can have this soup completed in under 20 minutes. You can leave out the potato and it would be even quicker!
