VEGAN CHEDDAR BROCCOLI SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium pot, boil potatoes, carrots, and onion in a pot with enough water to cover well and allow to cook until veggies are tender, approximately 15 minutes. Cooking time will vary based on how small the veggies are diced.
• When veggies are tender, drain and place them in a blender. NOTE: reserve the broth, and add 1 cup of it to the blender. Add all the remaining ingredients, and blend until smooth. Reserve the rest of the broth from veggies to use in soup.
• This 'cheese' sauce is excellent and can be stored in the refrigerator (when not making this soup recipe) and used for many things. It makes approximately 2-3 cups.
• Including a baked potato topping, over steamed broccoli, with salsa for nachos, and so many more options! This picture is a loaded baked potato.
• For now, just leave the cheese sauce in your blender. You will be adding soup ingredients shortly.
• In a large stockpot, saute onions and garlic in approximately 3 Tbsp. water.
• Saute until slightly browned.
• Add 2-1/2 cups water, broccoli florets, and carrots. Cover and cook on medium heat approximately 10 minutes, until slightly tender, but still bright green. Don't overcook to mush.
• Remove from heat and put 1/2 of the veggies in a blender with the cheese sauce (leave the other 1/2 in your pot, but not on heat), plus 1/2 cup of reserved veggie broth from cheese sauce). Blend for just a minute or less.
• Pour blender mixture into the pot with other 1/2 of the cooked broccoli and veggies. Add almond milk, 1/2 cup water, Dijon mustard, chili powder, salt, pepper.
• Place back on the heat and allow to cook approximately 10 minutes on low heat. Remove and serve in a bowl or in hollowed out crusty bread.

VEGAN BROCCOLI SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 small baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, broccoli stems, salt, and pepper and sauté until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and garlic and stir, then add the broth and simmer for 20 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Let cool slightly.
• Set aside 1 cup of the broccoli florets to roast as a topping for the soup. Place the remaining florets in a steamer basket, and set over a pot with 1-inch of water. Bring the water to a simmer, cover, and let steam 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.
• Meanwhile, place the reserved broccoli florets and the bread cubes on the baking sheets. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and roast until the bread is crispy and the broccoli is tender and browned around the edges, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer the soup to the blender and add the cashews, apple cider vinegar, and mustard, and blend until creamy. Work in batches, if necessary. Add the steamed broccoli florets, dill, and lemon juice, and pulse until the broccoli is incorporated but still chunky. The soup should be thick; if it's too thick, add 1/2 cup water to thin to your desired consistency.
• Season to taste and serve the soup in bowls with the roasted broccoli and croutons on top.

VEGAN BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil along with the carrot, celery, onion and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the smoked paprika, garlic, potato and turmeric if using. Saute, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potato is tender, about 15 minutes. Allow the soup to cool briefly and then transfer to a blender along with the cashews, nutritional yeast, vinegar, Dijon and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Blend until smooth.
• Meanwhile, cook the broccoli in the microwave according to package instructions. Add the steamed broccoli to the contents of the blender and pulse until incorporated but with bits of broccoli still visible.
• Return the soup mixture to the pot and return to a simmer. If the consistency is too thick, add some water to adjust. Taste and add salt if desired. Finish with a sprinkle of pepper and the lemon juice if using. Serve with desired toppings.
