Healthy cream of broccoli soup for guilt free eating. Prepared using all healthy & clean ingredients. It is also vegan and plant based. | watchehatueat.comWhen I was in India, broccoli was not readily available. So, I never had a chance to try them. It was only after coming to the US, I tasted them in Asian restaurants. Since then, I have become its great fan.

I have always wanted to incorporate them in our regular diet however, I am not very successful yet. Even for trying out this healthy cream of broccoli soup, it took me three to four visits to the grocery store. My every purchase of broccoli went to the trash bin as it was kept in some remote corner of the refrigerator, far beyond my line of sight (:P). In order to overcome my guilt of wasting broccoli, my last visit to the grocery store was solely for this recipe. Today (and finally!)  I will be sharing with you all this easy broccoli soup recipe. It does not contain any dairy products, yet is creamy. Hope you all would give it a try!

Dairy free healthy cream of broccoli soup for guilt free eating. Vegan, plant based and a low calorie soup. | watchehatueat.comHow to make creamy and healthy broccoli soup?

Chop broccoli and grate carrot into small pieces. For giving a creamy texture to this soup, I used cashew cream, almond milk and a little bit of wheat flour. To make the creamy base for this soup, cook wheat flour with some oil in a medium pan on low heat for a couple of mins. Once the flour is fragrant, slowly add milk along with water. Whisk continuously while adding milk to avoid forming lumps. Don’t worry if you find some. Simply use a hand blender to the mixture to break down the lumps before adding any vegetables.  Then, add the veggies and cook till they are nice and tender. Your creamy broccoli soup is ready to enjoy for light lunch or dinner or even as a side. It is also vegan and derives key nutrients from broccoli, carrot, and cashews.

Ingredients

  • 3 cup roughly chopped broccoli
  • 1 cup grated carrot
  • 1/4 cup cashew cream
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2-3 cloves small garlic minced
  • 1 cup almond milk (or regular milk if not vegan)
  • 2 cup water (or vegetable stock)
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat oil on a low heat in a medium pan.
  2. Add garlic and sauté for a few seconds or until fragrant. Then add the flour and cook for about 2 min. Continuously stir it to avoid browning.
  3. Slowly add milk and water with continuous stirring. Take care not form lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Now add broccoli, grated carrots, salt and pepper. Cook the mixture for about 15-18 mins.

  5. Add cashew cream, mix well and cook for another 2-3 min.

  6. Turn off the heat and serve warm to enjoy this bowl of deliciousness.

Recipe Notes

  1. If lumps form, blend the mixture before adding vegetables. I use a hand blender to do this job when I find lumps. 
  2. I like my cup of soup with toasted whole wheat bread. 
  3. You can make cashew cream at home. Get the recipe here for homemade cashew cream.

    I just made this and it was so good!! I followed the recipe and added a little nutritional yeast for some extra “cheesy” flavor. So yummy! I was a big fan of Panera’s broccoli cheddar soup before o went vegan and this really fulfilled the craving!!

    Really good and super easy to make! I changed it a tiny bit. I water sautéed the garlic instead of using the oil, I used arrowroot powder instead of the flour and I omitted the salt. This in my opinion only makes enough for two, so I’d double it to have leftovers. It would be excellent over a plain baked potato. I think I’ll add mushrooms next time and maybe onions, but it doesn’t need it. I just like more veg.
