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.

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.

Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen broccoli. If you're using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it's tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. I recommend using a low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth.
- Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for cream of broccoli soup include shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, croutons, and chopped fresh parsley.
