How To Get Creamy Soup Without Dairy or Nuts?
A lot of vegan soups use potatoes, coconut milk or nuts like cashews to achieve that smooth and creamy texture you normally get with dairy.
In this dairy-free soup we used plant-based oat milk and white beans. But don’t worry there’s not beany taste. The beans have the added benefit of adding a great protein boost along with the protein already present in the broccoli. 1 cup of broccoli has 2.6g of protein.
Can I Use Frozen Broccoli In Soup?
This recipe is so versatile that both prepackaged frozen broccoli works just as well as fresh.
Storage
- Refrigerator. With the absence of any dairy this gluten-free vegan broccoli soup will last a week in the refrigerator
