Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion
  • 3-4 cloves garlic (or 2 tsp. garlic powder)
  • 1 lb. gold potatoes (about 2 medium/large)
  • 14 oz. frozen broccoli florets (about 4-5 cups)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup plant milk (plain + unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1-2 Tbsp. fresh dill (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Dice onion and mince garlic.
  2. In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
  3. Meanwhile, dice potato.
  4. When onion is softened, add garlic. Stir and sauté 1 minute.
  5. Add potato, broccoli, broth, milk, and nutritional yeast. Stir and bring to a light boil. Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally.
  6. Add fresh dill (if using). Then blend soup with an immersion blender.* Blend as much or as little as you prefer to desired texture. Salt/pepper to taste.

Notes

  • *Blender: If you don't have an immersion blender, then carefully blend soup in batches in a blender. Just be sure to use extreme caution with hot foods in the blender. (You may want to let it cool a bit before blending.)
