Vegan Broccoli Almond Soup
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth/water
- 1 cup almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: sliced almonds, chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or any greens)
Recipe Preparation
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets to the pot and sauté for another 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.
- Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a blender. Add the almond butter and almond milk to the blender as well.
- Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You might need to do this in batches if your blender isn't large enough.
- Pour the blended soup back into the pot and reheat over low-medium heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the soup is heated through, ladle it into serving bowls.
- Optionally, garnish each bowl with sliced almonds and chopped fresh herbs.
- Serve your delicious Broccoli Almond Vegan Soup warm and enjoy!
