Happy soup season, y’all! The first day of fall has officially come and gone, which means I’ll be making a lot of soups and stews from here on out. When thinking about what recipes to share with you this month, I realized I hadn’t posted my Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Soup recipe yet. How is this possible?! Broccoli cheddar soup has such a classic cozy vibe. I gave it a plant-based makeover with our Sriracha Cheddar Cheeze Spread. Let’s make some, shall we?
This soup recipe starts like many great soup recipes do – by sautéing garlic and onion in olive oil. It’s such a simple step, but the delicious smell really gets me in the cooking zone. Once the garlic and onion are soft, sprinkle in the flour and continue to sauté until the flour is lightly browned. This helps thicken the soup – if you’re gluten-free you can skip this step and the recipe will still come out fabulous!
It’s all smooth sailing from here. Add the vegetable broth, broccoli, carrot, salt, and pepper to the pot and simmer until the veggies are bright and tender. This should only take 15 minutes, max.
As a final step, stir in a package of Plant Perks Sriracha Cheddar Cheeze Spread. It lends a velvety smooth and creamy texture with zero dairy (of course!). Not to mention, the slightly spicy flavor sends the overall taste of this dish over the top.
Last but not least, garnish each bowl of soup with more broccoli and a few twists of black pepper. I think you’re going to love this one! I hope you come back to this recipe again and again as the weather turns chilly.
Peace.Love.Plants.
