Dairy Free Broccoli Cheese Soup
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
- 1/2 medium white onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 carrots
- 3 celery stalks
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 chicken bouillon cube (I use GoBio! brand)
- 3 cups organic chicken broth
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup nutritional yeast (or more if you really want that cheesy taste)
- 3 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 1/4 tsp dry mustard powder
- salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Chop your onions, garlic, carrots, broccoli and celery then set aside.
- In a medium to large soup pot heat your oil over medium heat and saute your onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
- Next add your carrots and celery and saute until slightly softened. Add your bullion cube and dry mustard and season evenly.
- Add your broth and arrowroot powder and whisk immediately. Bring the soup to a boil so it will start to thicken and stir consistently.
- One your soup has started to thicken add your coconut cream, nutritional yeast and broccoli florets and mix well. Bring your soup to simmer, cover and let cook until broccoli is soft.
- This step is optional, pour half your soup into the blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend then add it back to the rest of your soup. (you could also puree the entire soup its totally up to you!) Add salt and pepper to taste.
