Vegan Broccoli Cheese Soup - super creamy, "cheesy" broccoli soup made from whole food ingredients. No fake processed cheese!! Oil free and gluten free too!
¼cupnutritional yeast(optional - but does increase the "cheesy" flavor)
4cupschopped broccoli florets
Instructions
Place the potatoes, butternut squash, onion and broth in a medium size pot on the stove. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the veggies are tender.
Transfer the potato/squash mixture to a high speed blender. Add the pumpkin seeds, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, mustard powder, turmeric, nutmeg, salt/pepper, and nutritional yeast if using. Blend until smooth.
Transfer back to the pot over medium heat. Add the chopped broccoli. Cover the pot and simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
Serve immediately.
Notes
If you like your soup thinner, you can add a little unsweetened cashew or almond milk at the end and heat through.
