Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon butter
4 leeks, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
2 heads fresh broccoli, chopped
1 (32 ounce) carton low-sodium chicken broth
1 (12 fluid ounce) can fat-free evaporated milk

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot, and cook the leeks over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper, and coriander. Reserve about 1/4 cup of small broccoli florets, and cook the rest of the broccoli with the leeks until the broccoli is bright green, about 5 more minutes. Pour in the chicken stock, bring the soup to a boil, cover, then simmer until the broccoli is very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
  • Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in the reserved broccoli florets, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often. Simmer until the broccoli florets are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, and mix in the condensed milk. Serve hot.

VEGAN CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP



Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup image

We achieved ultimate creaminess without the cream by adding a Yukon gold potato to this low-fat, heart-healthy soup. The nutritional yeast, with its satisfying nuttiness, does a great job standing in for cheese; look for it in health and specialty foods stores.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion (from about 1/2 medium onion)
Kosher salt
1/2 cup chopped celery (from about 1 medium stalk)
1 clove garlic, smashed
Freshly ground black pepper
2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced (about 3/4 pound)
4 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until light brown, about 7 minutes. Add the celery, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, 4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Return the heat to medium, cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the broccoli, cover and cook until the broccoli is bright green, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the soup to a blender; add the soy milk and puree until smooth, leaving the filler cap slightly open to let steam escape (or puree the soup in the pot with an immersion blender). Return the soup to the saucepan and bring to a simmer; stir in the nutritional yeast and nutmeg. Add water if needed to adjust consistency and add salt and pepper to taste.
