Author: Jules
Recipe type: dinner, lunch
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 heads broccoli, roughly chopped
- 2 russet potatoes, roughly chopped
- ¾-1 cup nutritional yeast
- 3 tbsp tamari
- 3 cups mushroom or vegetable broth
- Optional for thickening: 1 tbsp corn starch or arrowroot powder, mixed with ½ cup water
- 2 green onion, chopped
Instructions
- Boil potatoes until soft (place potato in a large pot, cover with water, bring to a rolling boil and let boil for 15 minutes)
- Steam broccoli for 5 minutes (alternatively, place broccoli florets in the boiling water with the potatoes at the 10 minute mark ~ you will lose a bit of flavour, but save on cleaning a pot)
- Meanwhile, water sauté onion and garlic (heat a pan to medium heat, add onion, mix around as it browns for a few minutes, then add a bit of water to de-glaze. Let it cook until translucent, add a bit of water when if it's sticking).
- Blend in two batches: add half of everything (broccoli, potatoes, 1½ tbsp tamari, 1 - 1½ cups broth, ½ cup nutritional yeast) to the blender and blend until almost smooth. Pour into the pot you used for potato boiling, then repeat with the rest of the ingredients.
- Warm the soup up for a few minutes, then stir in the optional cornstarch mixture (mix for at least 30 seconds)
- Serve with avocado toast, green onion, and this Smokey Vegan Parm!
