Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 medium (chopped) Yellow onion
- 1 medium (peeled and chopped) Carrot
- 1 chopped Celery stalk
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, celery, carrot, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and blend it in batches using a countertop blender. Return the soup to the pot if using a countertop blender.
Stir in the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the soup for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the soup from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot, garnished with additional nutritional yeast or fresh herbs if desired.
