Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup (60 ml) vegan butter or olive oil
5 cups (360 grams) broccoli, chopped (approx. 2 heads)
2/3 cup (100 grams) chopped carrots (approx. 2 carrots)
2/3 cup (100 grams) chopped celery (approx. 2 ribs)
2/3 cups (100 grams) chopped onion, (approx. 1 onion)
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 tbsp (65 grams) flour
4 cups (1000 ml) vegetable broth
2 cups (500 ml) original or unsweetened non-dairy milk (I recommend original cashew)
3/4 cup (185 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk (or sub with more non-dairy milk)
1/4 cup (20 grams) nutritional yeast flakes (or sub with vegan cheese shreds)
1 tsp (5 ml) white wine vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 cup (70 grams) broccoli florets
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat vegan butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli, carrot, celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté until onion is translucent and just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle vegetables with flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
  • Gradually add vegetable broth and non-dairy milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the coconut milk and nutritional yeast. Simmer soup over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Blend the soup to your liking. I recommend puréeing ½ to ⅔ of the soup smooth.
  • If desired, adjust consistency with vegetable broth or non-dairy milk. Stir in white wine vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, vinegar, (and if desired, sugar if using unsweetened non-dairy milk - refer to recipe notes).
  • In a separate saucepan or skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the broccoli florets and sprinkle with salt. Sauté until just nearly tender. Turn the heat up to high and continue to cook, stirring sporadically, until the broccoli has a nice brown/black edge on at least 1 side. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, top with browned broccoli florets, vegan cheese shreds (optional), and cracked black pepper. Serve with crackers, bread, sandwich or salad. Enjoy!
