DAIRY-FREE CREAMY BROCCOLI SOUP



Dairy-Free Creamy Broccoli Soup image

The satiny texture of this soup will make you think it's cream-based, but it's absolutely dairy-free and delicious! It's a perfect dish to use up leftover broccoli stalks that don't fit into other meals. It freezes well and makes a great winter warm-up snack or lunch! Can be served immediately, seasoned with black pepper, curry powder, or even grated cheese (for people who don't mind dairy) or can be frozen in individual portions and microwaved later.

BROCCOLI CASSEROLE WITH NO "CREAM OF SOMETHING" SOUPS!



Broccoli Casserole With No

I love broccoli, and I love cream cheese, so this is a natural for me! When I was growing up, we always had that broccoli casserole with the rice, cheese, and cream of chicken, mushroom, or celery soup. But I have been trying to avoid the sodium content in the cream of "whatever" soups, and found that this broccoli casserole is really tastey! I've listed topping it with bread crumbs or ritz crackers, whichever is your preference. Do not use both...it is too much breading on top! I've also made this using fresh chopped broccoli and garlic, great either way! I hope you enjoy it!

BEST EVER NO CREAM CREAMY BROCCOLI SOUP



Best Ever No Cream Creamy Broccoli Soup image

This is absolutely my favorite soup! It's rich and thick and comforting - and yet it's healthy!! I adapted this recipe from Kraft by using a different cheese and less water. This soup is delicious! Enjoy!

Provided by Jennibear

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 8 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium carrots, peeled, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
3 tablespoons oil
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 cup water
1 bunch fresh broccoli, trimmed and chopped into florets
1/2 cup Minute Rice
2 cups milk
5 slices kraft cheese
pepper

Steps:

  • Cook and stir carrots, onions and celery in hot oil in a large saucepot on medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and water, stir. Bring to a boil. Stir in broccoli and rice. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 10 to 15 minutes stirring frequently. Use a hand-blender or pour batches into a blender to puree. (Be careful - it's hot!) Add the milk and cheese and stir until melted/combined.
  • Please use fresh vegetables -- makes it a much tastier soup. Also keep in mind - the more broccoli you use - the greener your soup will look. I tend to use 2 cups broccoli to keep the color less green -- The original recipe added 2 cups water and used 1/2 cup parmesan cheese instead of processed cheese slices - but I like the taste of my recipe better. Serve in a breadbowl if you have it.
  • Filling! Comforting! Enjoy!

CREAMY BROCCOLI SOUP



Creamy Broccoli Soup image

This is one of the best formulas for a creamy, savory broccoli soup - and it doesn't include any cream. Borrowing from the concept of using coconut water to provide the kind of richness that is reminiscent of bone broth in Yi Jun Loh's ingeniously vegan Malaysian ABC soup, this simple green elixir starts with a base of umami-loaded vegetables seared in olive oil then braised in coconut water. With silken tofu providing creaminess, this verdant, vegetable-powered soup can be pleasurably contrasted, in flavor and in temperature, with an optional dollop of sweet, cool ricotta. (If you're keeping this vegan, you'll still have plenty of creamy richness even if you leave the ricotta out.)

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds broccoli
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 medium carrot, coarsely chopped
1 medium tomato, coarsely chopped
1 small sweet potato (preferably white-fleshed), coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 quart unsweetened coconut water, plus more if desired
1 (16-ounce) container silken tofu, drained
Ricotta, for serving (optional)
Finely chopped parsley, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut off the broccoli stems, then cut the stems into 1-inch-thick slices. Separate the florets into small pieces. Reserve the stems and florets separately.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high and add the olive oil. Stir in the onion, carrot, tomato, sweet potato and the broccoli stems, spread in an even layer and season generously with salt and pepper. Let the vegetables on the bottom sear without stirring until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the garlic powder and stir with a wooden spoon to hydrate the spice in the fat and continue cooking for another minute or so. The tomato will start to break down and get jammy.
  • Add the coconut water, raise the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Cover, lower the heat to keep the soup at a gentle boil and continue cooking until all of the vegetables are mostly softened and the stock is imbued with savory flavor, about 10 minutes. For a creamier texture, remove the broccoli stems to snack on or discard; for more broccoli flavor (and roughage), leave the stems in.
  • Stir in the broccoli florets and tofu, raise the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Cover and cook until a paring knife easily cuts the stem part of a broccoli floret, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Carefully ladle the contents of the pot into a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed, then add more coconut water or water to thin out the soup to your desired thickness.
  • Serve hot in shallow bowls, each serving dolloped with a spoonful of fridge-cold ricotta, if using, and lightly drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkled with herbs, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to broccoli, you can add other vegetables to this soup, such as carrots, celery, onions, or potatoes. This will make the soup more nutritious and flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a bit of crunch. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. The vegetable broth is the base of this soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real vegetables.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bit of lemon juice or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings for broccoli soup include shredded cheese, croutons, and bacon bits. You can also serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This creamy broccoli soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
