Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup

Whip up this Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup and watch your family do a happy dance! It’s a plant based version of a classic recipe – with rich and creamy flavors, and all the cheesiness you can handle.

I have visited Panera so many times watching tons of people load up on Panera’s broccoli and cheese soup. I mean, I don’t blame them – it looks delicious.

However, Panera’s broccoli cheese soup isn’t vegan, and I seriously needed a vegan version. So, I came up with this recipe and I think you’re going to be head over heels for it just like I am.

Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 Cups Vegan Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 2 Cups Broccoli Florets
• 1 ½ Cups Vegetable Broth
• 8 Ounces Full Fat Coconut Milk
• 1 Tablespoon Garlic minced
• ¼ Large Onion diced
• 1 Tablespoon Vegan Butter or Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

• In a small pot, boil the broccoli florets until softened. Drain and pulse 2-3 times in a food processor. You still want some chunks, so don’t over process.
• In a medium pot, melt the butter and saute the onions for 2–3 minutes or until translucent.
• Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes or until fragrant.
• Add the broth and coconut milk. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Add the vegan cheese to the pot and stir until thoroughly melted. Let it cook for another 2 minutes.
• Add the broccoli to the pot and stir thoroughly, letting it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• Salt and pepper to your liking, serve, and enjoy!
