CREAMY BROCCOLI POTATO SOUP



Creamy Broccoli Potato Soup image

This broccoli potato soup is intensely creamy and 100% plant based! It's an easy healthy soup that everyone loves (plus it's vegan and gluten free).

Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Main Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large yellow onion
3 garlic cloves
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (about 6 medium)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 quart vegetable broth
1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 pound frozen broccoli florets (or 4 cups small steamed broccoli florets*)
1 large carrot
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon dried dill
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Dice the onion. Mince the garlic. Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the vegetable broth, cashews and potatoes and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer (not a boil), and simmer about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and falling apart when poked with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, run the frozen broccoli under hot water to thaw it. Chop it into smaller florets as necessary. All packages are different, so make small bite-sized florets the size you'd like for a soup. You can chop the broccoli stems off and keep them in the soup as well. Place the broccoli in a bowl and mix it with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Peel and grate the carrot into long strips (we used a handheld julienne shredder).
  • When the potatoes are tender, use a ladle to transfer everything to a blender. Add the thyme, dill, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard and another 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Hold the top tight and blend everything for a minute or two until fully creamy. (This quantity just fits in a standard blender.)
  • Pour the creamy soup back into the pot and add the broccoli and carrot. Simmer about 5 more minutes until the broccoli is cooked through. Taste and add additional salt as necessary (we added 1/4 teaspoon more).

CREAMY BROCCOLI SOUP



Creamy Broccoli Soup image

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.)

Provided by Eric Kim

Categories     dinner, lunch, weeknight, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds broccoli
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 medium carrot, coarsely chopped
1 medium tomato, coarsely chopped
1 small sweet potato (preferably white-fleshed), coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 quart unsweetened coconut water, plus more if desired
1 (16-ounce) container silken tofu, drained
Ricotta, for serving (optional)
Finely chopped parsley, for serving (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your soup the best flavor. Try to use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. Potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Otherwise, they will become mushy and the soup will be too thick.
  • Use a good quality 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 made with real ingredients and has a rich flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Garnish the soup before serving. A sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or crumbled bacon will add a nice finishing touch to your soup.

Conclusion:

Creamy broccoli potato soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover potatoes and broccoli.
