CREAMY VEGAN POTATO BROCCOLI SOUP

This soup will warm you to your soul.  It's everything you want in a bowl of soup, comfort, warmth, and filling.


It's getting cooler in many parts of the world. There's really nothing like coming home on crisp cool day to a big pot of hot comforting soup, that fills your belly and warms you straight to your soul. I wouldn't know anything about, that since its still 90°f here in Flordia, and don't even ask about the humidity. But, we don't care, we are craving soup just like a lot of people are this time of year. Soup is so nursing and just dang delicious! We've been enjoying this for dinner and the leftovers are even better. This recipe couldn't be any easier to throw together, here's what you'll need.


Ingredients:
1 Diced Medium onion
1 Bell pepper (I used the mini sweet peppers 2 red and 1 yellow,  green will work too. Use what you like)
2 Stalks of celery
2-3 cloves of garlic
2 carrots diced
4-5 Medium Potatoes (I used Russet baking potatoes because I always have them on hand. If you are using a smaller potato you'll need more,).
1 lb. bag of frozen of fresh Broccoli
1-2 teaspoons garlic powder
1-2 teaspoons onion powder
1 Tablespoon mushroom broth powder (optional)
32oz. Vegetable stock (Here is my absolute favorite it is SUPER flavorful)
2 Cups of water
1/2 cup Nutritional yeast
Salt and Pepper to taste (go easy on the salt if you are using the mushroom powder it's salty)

Directions:
Heat a large pot on medium/high heat. Add diced onion, pepper, celery, carrots, add a little water just to get the party started and cook until the veggies have softened. Add chopped garlic and a little more water to prevent the garlic from burning. Add seasoning and continue to sautée until all the veggies are slightly browned about 5-7 minutes. Add the veggie stock and water bring to a boil, drop the heat a little and cook at a gentle boil for about 5 mins so the carrots can get a head start. Add potatoes cook until just tender. Once the potatoes are tender add 4-5 ladles of the potatoes and veggie to a high speed blender (try not you get too much liquid at this point, the amount of veggies in your pot is up to how chunky you like your soup. I like it pretty chunky so I make sure I have a good amount to potatoes and veggie left in the pot) add a couple of ladles of use the soup liquid to the blender. Add Nutritional yeast and 1 tsp of each of the spices your adding to your soup. Blend until super smooth and thick. Add the blended soup back to the pot, stir and add broccoli and cook until tender.

  2. This veggie stock has "natural flavoring" which means it could contain beef, seafood, or poultry.

    1. I had noticed that and was going to email the company to see if they could tell the source of the natural flavoring. :) I'll put it in the comments here if they get back with me.
