30-Minute Broccoli Cheddar Soup (Page 2 ) | April 9, 2025

Sauté Aromatics:
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and fragrant.
Add Broccoli:
Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook the Broccoli:
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer.
Let the broccoli cook for 8-10 minutes, until tender.
Make the Roux:
In a small bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk and flour until smooth.
Slowly pour the milk mixture into the soup, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Thicken the Soup:
Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, until the soup begins to thicken.
Add Vegan Cheese:
Lower the heat and stir in the vegan cheddar cheese, letting it melt into the soup.
Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, if desired.
Blend (Optional):
For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup, or blend half the soup and return it to the pot.
Serve:
Serve in bowls and garnish with chopped chives or green onions, if desired.
Tips:

You can use nutritional yeast (about 2-3 tablespoons) for a cheesy flavor if you don’t have vegan cheese.
For extra creaminess, you can add a bit of cashew cream or coconut cream.
Enjoy your warm and comforting vegan Broccoli Cheddar Soup!
