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
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion, celery, carrot, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the soup from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot, garnished with additional nutritional yeast or fresh herbs if desired.
