Easy Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Easy Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Soup will be your new favorite soup recipe. It's super creamy. I promise, no one will know it's dairy free!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil, or neutral oil of choice
- ½ cup diced yellow onion
- ½ cup chopped carrots
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup peeled and cubed Russet potato - Use a Russet potato opposed to other potato varieties because it's starchy and will help the soup thicken a bit.
- 3 cups broccoli cut into VERY fine pieces
- ½ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup unsweetened canned full-fat coconut milk - Do not use any other type of milk. Canned full-fat coconut milk is the creamiest. That is why we can use it in place of heavy cream.
- 1 cup shredded vegan cheddar cheese - I love THIS brand!
Instructions
- Heat avocado oil in a 6-quart stockpot or dutch oven over medium heat until it's hot. Add onion and sauté for about 2 minutes.
- Next, add carrots, potatoes and vegetable broth.
- Cover and cook for about 20-24 minutes on medium-low heat, or until the pieces of potato and carrot have softened.
- Turn off the heat. Place your immersion blender into the pot and purée the mixture until creamy. While an immersion blender is the best and safest option for blending soup, you can use your standard blender if you don't have an immersion blender. Check out THIS post for all the details on how to do that.
- Turn the heat back on to medium-low. Add the broccoli, nutritional yeast, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, coconut milk. Stir everything together. Allow the soup to cook for about 5 minutes.
- Then, stir in the cheese and cook for 7-10 minutes more, or until the broccoli is tender and the soup is thick.
