Ingredients

  • ¼ cup vegan butter or olive oil
  • 5 cups broccoli, chopped (approx. 2 heads)
  • ⅔ cup chopped carrots (approx. 2 carrots)
  • ⅔ cup chopped celery (approx. 2 ribs)
  • ⅔ cups chopped onion, (approx. 1 onion)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 tbsp flour
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups original or unsweetened non-dairy milk (I recommend original cashew)
  • ¾ cup full-fat canned coconut milk (or sub with more non-dairy milk)
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast flakes (or sub with vegan cheese shreds)
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar or lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • 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.
