CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP
This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains very little actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Steps:
- Cook and stir carrots, onions and celery in hot oil in a large saucepot on medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and water, stir. Bring to a boil. Stir in broccoli and rice. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 10 to 15 minutes stirring frequently. Use a hand-blender or pour batches into a blender to puree. (Be careful - it's hot!) Add the milk and cheese and stir until melted/combined.
- Please use fresh vegetables -- makes it a much tastier soup. Also keep in mind - the more broccoli you use - the greener your soup will look. I tend to use 2 cups broccoli to keep the color less green -- The original recipe added 2 cups water and used 1/2 cup parmesan cheese instead of processed cheese slices - but I like the taste of my recipe better. Serve in a breadbowl if you have it.
- Filling! Comforting! Enjoy!

CREAMY BROCCOLI SOUP
This is one of the best formulas for a creamy, savory broccoli soup - and it doesn't include any cream. Borrowing from the concept of using coconut water to provide the kind of richness that is reminiscent of bone broth in Yi Jun Loh's ingeniously vegan Malaysian ABC soup, this simple green elixir starts with a base of umami-loaded vegetables seared in olive oil then braised in coconut water. With silken tofu providing creaminess, this verdant, vegetable-powered soup can be pleasurably contrasted, in flavor and in temperature, with an optional dollop of sweet, cool ricotta. (If you're keeping this vegan, you'll still have plenty of creamy richness even if you leave the ricotta out.)

Steps:
- Cut off the broccoli stems, then cut the stems into 1-inch-thick slices. Separate the florets into small pieces. Reserve the stems and florets separately.
- Heat a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high and add the olive oil. Stir in the onion, carrot, tomato, sweet potato and the broccoli stems, spread in an even layer and season generously with salt and pepper. Let the vegetables on the bottom sear without stirring until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the garlic powder and stir with a wooden spoon to hydrate the spice in the fat and continue cooking for another minute or so. The tomato will start to break down and get jammy.
- Add the coconut water, raise the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Cover, lower the heat to keep the soup at a gentle boil and continue cooking until all of the vegetables are mostly softened and the stock is imbued with savory flavor, about 10 minutes. For a creamier texture, remove the broccoli stems to snack on or discard; for more broccoli flavor (and roughage), leave the stems in.
- Stir in the broccoli florets and tofu, raise the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Cover and cook until a paring knife easily cuts the stem part of a broccoli floret, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Carefully ladle the contents of the pot into a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed, then add more coconut water or water to thin out the soup to your desired thickness.
- Serve hot in shallow bowls, each serving dolloped with a spoonful of fridge-cold ricotta, if using, and lightly drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkled with herbs, if desired.

Steps:
- Combine the broccoli and the stock in a saucepan. Simmer, covered, until the broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes. During the last minute or so of cooking, add the garlic (this cooks the garlic just enough to remove its raw taste).
- Puree in a blender, in batches if necessary, until very smooth. Stir in the milk, cream or yogurt, and reheat gently; do not boil. Season to taste, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have loose florets.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a blender or food processor to create a smooth soup: This will help to create a creamy texture without the need for cream.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
This creamy broccoli soup is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this nutritious vegetable. It's perfect for a quick and easy meal or a comforting snack. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy soup recipe, give this no-cream creamy broccoli soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
