Broccoli Cheese Soup

kcalThis Vegan Broccoli Cheese Soup is a comforting and dairy-free twist on a classic favorite. The recipe cleverly uses a blend of nuts, nutritional yeast, and tofu to create a creamy, cheese-like base that’s both nutritious and satisfying. The addition of steamed broccoli provides a hearty texture and boost of vitamins. Prepared entirely in a high-performance blender, this soup comes together quickly, making it perfect for busy weeknights or when craving a warm, comforting meal. The combination of spices and vegetable broth enhances the flavor profile, resulting in a soup that’s reminiscent of its dairy-based counterpart but with all the benefits of being plant-based.

1 head (400 g) broccoli
1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice
¼ cup (20 g) nutritional yeast
½ cup (70 g) raw almonds
½ cup (65 g) raw cashews
1 whole red bell pepper, seeded
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
Crushed red pepper to taste
1 cup (240 ml) vegetable broth
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ block (210 g) tofu

This is the first attempt at soup I’ve made with my new Vitamix purchase. Totally delicious soup! This recipe was just as good as the regular broccoli cheese soup recipe I use but much healthier, faster, and clean up was a breeze. My husband couldn’t believe this soup was ‘hot’ and ready from the container I used to mix it in! I also did a taste test of the ‘cheese’, excellent as well. I will make soup again, and queso, too! Yummy! Thank you!

Nothing beats the feeling of impressing someone with your fancy blender skills! I’ll never get over how cool the steam coming out of the top is!

Shalva,
Recipe calls for 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast but notes 60 grams? My whole bottle of nutritional yeast is only 120 grams. Am I using the wrong ingredient?
TIA, Michelle Bland-
Good catch! It’s 1/4 cup which is 20 grams.
