Happy January or should I say Happy Veganuary?!
Today we are sharing one of my all time favorite, delicious, VEGAN, GF soup that seriously INCREDIBLE! While I personally am not taking up a vegan challenge this year, but I am trying my best to incorporate as much colorful vegetables as I can in my meals to help myself get back on track to feeling my best! After all my delicious endeavors from my 3 week trip in Asia, I can’t help but feel like I really just want a green salad or a bowl of oatmeal…at least temporarily!
Although to be honest, a “green” salad isn’t exactly the most filling or tastiest, but I can promise this soup will hit the spot. I actually developed/tested this recipe in my personal veganuary challenge about 2 year ago. I’ve been testing, trialing and keeping this recipe in my back pocket for a long time.
My husband and I have enjoyed this on many occasions as a quick, easy meal during a busy work week or a simple light dinner: The creaminess, the depth of flavors here just makes this oh so addicting. You can even add in additional greens like spinach, kale to add a punch of nutrition! You can serve this with rolls/bread of choice to make a complete meal! This, I promise will be amongst your kids as well!
- 6 cups broccoli, chopped (546g)
- 1 small onion (70g)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1⅓ cup full fat coconut milk
- 1⅔ cup vegetable broth
- 1½ cups almond milk
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 4 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1.5-2 tsp salt
- Prepare the ingredients by finely chopping the garlic and roughly chopping the onions and broccoli into florets.
- In a large pot, stirfry onions and garlic for 5 mins till soft. Add water if needed to prevent sticking.
- Add the roughly chopped broccoli, coconut milk, almond milk and broth. Cover and bring to boil.
- Keep cooking until the broccoli is soft.
- Add the rest of the seasonings. Turn down to a simmer to let the flavors blend and until you get to a desired thickness (~10 mins).
- Add to a blender to blend until smooth or you can leave a slightly chunky texture (optional).
- Taste and adjust seasonings! You can serve warm immediately or keep it up to 3-4 days in the fridge!
