Denise uses soymilk for added richness in this recipe, but you can use your favorite unsweetened milk beverage for cooking, if preferred. We have modified her recipe a little, to fix some errors and clarify the directions.

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups chicken or vegetable stock (for vegan)
1½ pounds broccoli cut into small florets
1¼ pound russet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
½ cup dry white wine
2 bay leaves
½ teaspoon salt + additional, to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1½ cups unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage, divided + additional, if needed
Lemon zest, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the stock, broccoli, potatoes, onion, wine, bay leaves, salt, lemon juice, and pepper in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and decrease the heat to low. Simmer until all the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove the soup from the heat and discard the bay leaves. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
  • Ladle half of the soup into a blender along with ¾ cup milk beverage, cover and puree until smooth. Empty the blender into a large bowl.
  • Ladle the remaining soup into the blender with ¾ cup milk beverage, cover and puree until smooth. When finished transfer the pureed soup back into the saucepan.
  • Thin the soup if necessary by adding a little more milk beverage until the desired consistency is achieved.
  • Taste and add more salt, if desired.
  • Reheat the soup over low heat, stirring occasionally, until hot but not boiling.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each bowl with lemon zest, if desire.

DAIRY-FREE CREAMY BROCCOLI SOUP

The satiny texture of this soup will make you think it's cream-based, but it's absolutely dairy-free and delicious! It's a perfect dish to use up leftover broccoli stalks that don't fit into other meals. It freezes well and makes a great winter warm-up snack or lunch! Can be served immediately, seasoned with black pepper, curry powder, or even grated cheese (for people who don't mind dairy) or can be frozen in individual portions and microwaved later.

### Tips for Making the Perfect Dairy-Free Creamy Broccoli Soup - **Use a good quality vegetable broth.** This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste. - **Don't overcook the broccoli.** You want the broccoli to be tender but still have a bit of bite to it. Cook it for just 5-7 minutes, or until it is bright green and tender. - **Use a high-powered blender.** This will help to create a smooth and creamy soup. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender but you may need to blend the soup in batches. - **Add some nutritional yeast.** This will give your soup a cheesy flavor without adding any dairy. - **Season to taste.** Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of brightness. ### Conclusion This dairy-free creamy broccoli soup is a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
