    Why This Recipe Works

    • You will be pleasantly surprise about how creamy and delicious this recipe is without any dairy.
    • This soup is a delicious and healthy option for anyone looking for a lighter version of the classic.
    • Broccoli is a nutrient rich vegetable thats high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. A perfect way to sneak more vegetables and vitamins into your daily meals.

    Key Ingredients

    Broccoli - the crown and stalks

    Non-dairy milk - to add creaminess

    Vegetable stock

    Plant-Based butter

    Gluten-Free flour - use with the vegan butter to create a roux to help thicken the soup

    White Beans - helps with creaminess

    See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Step 1: Rinse and chop broccoli crown and stem; dice onion and set both aside.

    Step 2: Melt 2 tablespoons of vegan butter in dutch oven/pot.

    Step 3: Sauté diced onion and celery flakes about 4 minutes.

    Step 4: Add broccoli and broth. Cover and steam broccoli until they’re tender about 15 minutes.

    Step 5: Let cooked broccoli mixture cool for a few minutes and then pour mixture and ½ cup of drained and rinsed canned white beans into a blender/food processor and blend into a puree (about 4 to 5 minutes).

    Step 6: Add puréed broccoli mixture back into pot and place on low heat.

    Step 7: In a small saucepan over medium heat melt 3 tablespoons vegan butter. Stir in flour and add non-dairy milk. Stir until roux thickens.

    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
    • To Store. Stored in an airtight container, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
    • Freeze. Allow it to cool before freezing and be careful not to leave it at room temperature for over an hour to avoid bacteria. You can freeze the soup if you have leftover or if food prepping. Store in a large freezer safe ziplock bag for up to three months.
