Broccoli is such a staple in our house. Not that the kids eat it, mind you, but me and my husband… I think we eat broccoli every other day in some format. Roasted, as a side dish, as a soup, anything! It’s almost like a meat substitute; so filling. And nutritious! That’s why today we wanted to bring you a broccoli soup recipe. It is not only simple, and creamy, but vegan too!
It’s also almost zero waste: add the stalk too! Slice it up and in it goes!
This is an easy peasy soup. You can’t go wrong with it. Simply cook and blend it. You can then also add vegan cheese, croutons (I normally dice bread ends, spread them on a baking tray, sprinkle with oil and garlic salt flakes – yumm!) or garlic bread on the side to make it more filling. But with a fresh bread, it’s also amazing.
You can even freeze this soup. So make double portion if you. cook and save half of the batch for quick dinners from the freezer. Just allow the soup to fully cool down and they will be fine in the freezer for up to three months. Portion it into serving sizes, as you don’t want to thaw out more than you need.
Enjoy this broccoli soup recipe.
