Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the chopped broccoli to the pot and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the vegetable broth into the pot, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth before returning it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut cream, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and vegan blue cheese. Heat the soup gently until the vegan cheese is melted and incorporated.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread or your favorite vegan rolls.
