Tips for Perfect Vegan Creamy Broccoli Soup:

* **Choose the Right Broccoli:** Select broccoli with tightly closed florets and deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets. * **Steam the Broccoli:** Steaming preserves the vibrant green color and nutrients of the broccoli. You can also blanch the broccoli in boiling water for a few minutes, then immediately transfer it to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. * **Make a Roux:** A roux is a mixture of equal parts fat and flour that helps thicken the soup. For a vegan roux, use a neutral-flavored oil like canola or grapeseed oil, and all-purpose flour. * **Use a High-Powered Blender:** A high-powered blender will create a smooth and creamy soup. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the soup in batches. * **Season to Taste:** Always taste the soup and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or nutritional yeast. * **Garnish Before Serving:** Garnish the soup with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill before serving. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of vegan Parmesan cheese. ###
