Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of broccoli, chopped (about 4 cups)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics:
    • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
    • Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add the Broccoli and Potatoes:
    • Toss in the chopped broccoli and cubed potatoes. Stir well to coat them with the aromatic base.
    • Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender (about 10 minutes).
  3. Blend the Soup:
    • Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
    • Return the blended soup to the pot.
  4. Adjust Consistency and Seasoning:
    • Add the unsweetened almond milk to the soup. Stir to combine.
    • Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preference. Adjust the consistency by adding more vegetable broth or almond milk if needed.
  5. Serve and Enjoy!:
    • Ladle the creamy vegan broccoli soup into bowls.
    • Garnish with a sprinkle of black pepper or fresh chopped herbs (such as parsley or chives).
    • Serve hot with crusty bread or whole-grain crackers.

Cook’s Note:

  • If you don’t have almond milk, feel free to use coconut milk, cashew milk, or any other plant-based milk you prefer.
  • For added flavor, consider tossing in a pinch of nutritional yeast or a dash of lemon juice.
