- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and add them to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Peel and dice the carrot and potato, slice the celery, and chop the zucchini. Add these to the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes.
Add the chopped broccoli to the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf from the soup.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a stand blender.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot.
