Creamy Broccoli Soup Plant Based Food

CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP

Steps:

• Cut the broccoli into large pieces, keeping the florets separate from the stems. Peel any very tough stems.
• Place the stems in a large soup pot and add the onion, potato, garlic powder, and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes.
• Add the broccoli florets and peas to the pot and cook until the broccoli is very tender, about 15 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the soup to a blender, working in batches if necessary, and blend until smooth. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender to purée the soup in the pot until smooth.)
• Return the soup to the pot. Add water if necessary, so that the consistency of the soup is moderately thick. Stir in the pepper, lemon juice, dill, and salt to taste.
• Bring to a boil.
• Turn off heat and serve immediately.

VEGAN CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until light brown, about 7 minutes. Add the celery, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, 4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Return the heat to medium, cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the broccoli, cover and cook until the broccoli is bright green, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the soup to a blender; add the soy milk and puree until smooth, leaving the filler cap slightly open to let steam escape (or puree the soup in the pot with an immersion blender). Return the soup to the saucepan and bring to a simmer; stir in the nutritional yeast and nutmeg. Add water if needed to adjust consistency and add salt and pepper to taste.

CREAMY BROCCOLI SOUP (PLANT BASED)

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
• While the cauliflower is steaming, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and garlic and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Remove cauliflower to a bowl. Place broccoli florets in the steamer insert. Cover and steam until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
• While the broccoli is steaming, transfer onion mixture to a blender. Add nutritional yeast, coconut milk, and poultry seasoning. Add cauliflower to about the middle of the blender. Add enough vegetable broth to cover the cauliflower. Cover and blend until creamy. Transfer to a soup pot.
• Continue to blend remaining cauliflower with the vegetable broth and add to the soup pot.
• Place broccoli in the blender and cover with a few cups of the cauliflower-broth mixture. Pulse and blend to desired consistency, leaving broccoli either chunky or in small bits, but not fully blended. Add to the pot.
• Season soup with salt and pepper and heat over low until warm, about 5 minutes.
