Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 onion chopped
1 to 2 stalks celery, chopped
4 to 5 large carrots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large potato, peeled and chopped
2 to 3 cups broccoli florets, cut into large pieces for easy removal
3 cups vegetable broth
2 cups Almond Breeze Original Almondmilk
1/4 cup nutritional yeast (Optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, or more to taste
croutons

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium high-heat. Add onion, celery, carrots, garlic, and potatoes. Sauté until softened, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Add broccoli, vegetable broth, and Almond Breeze Original Almondmilk. Simmer until broccoli is bright green, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Using tongs, pull out most of the broccoli pieces and set aside. Transfer soup, without the large broccoli pieces, to a blender. Blend until soup has a super creamy, cheesy-looking consistency. Add broccoli pieces and pulse a few times to just mix it in. Work in batches as necessary.

Step 4

Return soup to the pot; stir in nutritional yeast and season with salt. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve with croutons if desired.
