INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 head broccoli, florets chopped (about 4 cups)
- 1 large potato, peeled and diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton, not canned)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
- Croutons or toasted bread (optional, for serving)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add chopped broccoli florets and diced potato to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Pour vegetable broth into the pot, covering the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli and potato are tender.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
- Stir in unsweetened coconut milk into the soup, until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, if desired.
- Return the pot to the stove and heat the soup over low heat until warmed through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Ladle the Vegan Broccoli Cream Soup into serving bowls.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives.
- Optionally, serve the soup with croutons or toasted bread on the side.
