Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 an onion chopped
- 1-2 stalks celery chopped
- 4-5 large carrots chopped
- 1 large potato peeled and chopped
- 2-3 cups broccoli florets in large pieces for easy removal
- 2-3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups Almond Breeze Original Almondmilk
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast - optional - see notes
- 1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons sea salt
- croutons - see notes
Directions
- 1
Heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the mirepoix, garlic, and potatoes. Saute until softened, about 10 minutes.
- 2
Add broccoli, vegetable broth, and almond milk. Simmer until bubbly and broccoli is bright green, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Using tongs, pull out most of the broccoli pieces and set aside. Blend the soup, sans broccoli, to a super creamy, cheesy-looking consistency, and then add the broccoli and just pulse a few times to mix it in. This will likely need to be done in batches.

Return to pot; stir in nutritional yeast and salt. Taste and adjust and serve!
Notes
Croutons: Heat 1/4 cup olive oil (more as needed) in a skillet over medium high heat. Add a clove of smashed garlic and let it hang out (WITHOUT browning) for a few minutes. Remove garlic. Add cubed bread (about 6 thick slices cut into chunks) and toss around in the pan until golden brown and chewy/crispy. Drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
If the blended soup looks too thick for you, just add an additional 1/2 cup or so of liquid.
Nutritional yeast is not necessary for texture, but it adds a nice, salty, cheesy flavor and some extra vitamins, too.
