Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 4 bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 and 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1 medium onion
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot about 3 carrots, peeled
  • 3 cups diced russet potato 1-2 large potatoes, peeled
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 8 cups chopped broccoli florets about 4lbs including the stem
  • 3 cups vegetable broth*
  • 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • juice of 1 lemon about 3 tablespoons
  • 1 cup unsweetened plain non-dairy milk I like oat milk the best
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic, carrot, and potato, then continue to cook for 2 more minutes.
  • To the pot, add the oregano and tomato paste then stir to combine. Cook for a few minutes then add the chopped broccoli, vegetable broth and water. Bring to a boil and allow to cook for about 20 minutes, until broccoli and potato are tender. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
  • To a high speed blender, add the contents of the pot. If you like a chunkier texture, reserve about 1/2 of the broccoli in the pot. Add the nutritional yeast, lemon juice and non-dairy milk to the blender then blend on high until smooth.
  • Pour the soup back into the pot and warm over low heat. Cook until heated through. Add salt & pepper to taste, serve warm and enjoy!
