The Creamiest Vegan "Cheesy" Broccoli Soup #VeganWeek

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: soy milk

Almond milk is lower in calories while still providing creaminess.

nutritional yeast

🥗Healthier: brewer's yeast

💰Cheaper: dried cheese powder

Dried cheese powder mimics the cheesy flavor at a lower cost.

In a small bowl, soak the cashews in water for 1 hour.

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and stir until translucent.

Add the carrots, potatoes, garlic, and salt, and stir. Add 2 cups (480 ml) of vegetable broth, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

Transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth.

Set the soup aside and rinse out blender. Add the remaining 4 cups of vegetable broth, the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, paprika, and pepper, and blend until smooth.

Combine the cashew mixture and “cheese” mixture in the soup pan and stir.

Add the broccoli and stir to combine.

Enjoy!
