Ingredients
- 1 - 2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 - 3 cloves garlic minced
- 32 oz homemade chicken broth
- 3 large carrots peeled and diced
- 5 medium potatoes peeled and cubed into small pieces
- 2 small heads broccoli washed and diced small
- 3 Tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup arrowroot starch
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 6 lices Bacon cooked and chopped
- organic cheese shredded (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot heat oil over medium high heat. Add onions and saute until translucent. Add minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add chicken broth, carrots and potatoes. Bring to a boil and cover. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 10 minutes, or until potatoes are soft.
- Using a hand held stick mixer, puree the vegetables until almost all of them are pureed. (It's okay to leave some vegetable chunks for texture)
- Add broccoli, cover and cook over medium low heat for an additional 10 minutes.
- While simmering, melt butter in a medium sauce pan. Whisk in the arrowroot starch, almond milk and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 - 5 minutes, or until sauce has thickened. Remove from stove top and add sauce to the soup. Stir until well combined.
- Season soup with salt, freshly ground black pepper and oregano.
- Add more milk for a thinner consistency and add any additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve warm, and top with bacon pieces and cheese if desired.
