Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 5 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small chunks. Add the potatoes to the pot and stir well.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are slightly tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Add the broccoli to the pot and continue simmering for another 10 minutes, until the broccoli and potatoes are soft.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir to combine.
Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, taking care to vent the blender lid to avoid pressure build-up.
Return the soup to low heat and stir in the unsweetened almond milk. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes, but do not boil.
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
