CREAMY BROCCOLI POTATO SOUP



Creamy Broccoli Potato Soup image

This broccoli potato soup is intensely creamy and 100% plant based! It's an easy healthy soup that everyone loves (plus it's vegan and gluten free).

Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Main Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large yellow onion
3 garlic cloves
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (about 6 medium)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 quart vegetable broth
1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 pound frozen broccoli florets (or 4 cups small steamed broccoli florets*)
1 large carrot
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon dried dill
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Dice the onion. Mince the garlic. Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the vegetable broth, cashews and potatoes and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer (not a boil), and simmer about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and falling apart when poked with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, run the frozen broccoli under hot water to thaw it. Chop it into smaller florets as necessary. All packages are different, so make small bite-sized florets the size you'd like for a soup. You can chop the broccoli stems off and keep them in the soup as well. Place the broccoli in a bowl and mix it with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Peel and grate the carrot into long strips (we used a handheld julienne shredder).
  • When the potatoes are tender, use a ladle to transfer everything to a blender. Add the thyme, dill, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard and another 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Hold the top tight and blend everything for a minute or two until fully creamy. (This quantity just fits in a standard blender.)
  • Pour the creamy soup back into the pot and add the broccoli and carrot. Simmer about 5 more minutes until the broccoli is cooked through. Taste and add additional salt as necessary (we added 1/4 teaspoon more).

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced leeks, white and light green only
1 cup chopped peeled potato
3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 medium clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups broccoli florets
1/4 to 1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Add all but 2 to 3 of the broccoli florets, bring back to a simmer and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, and let cool at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
  • Meanwhile, cut the reserved broccoli florets in half, lengthwise. Put in a small microwave-safe bowl, toss with a splash of water and a pinch of salt, cover and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Add the cream and reheat the soup if necessary. Adjust the consistency and seasoning with water, salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot and garnish each soup with a broccoli half.

Categories     Chowders

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 medium potatoes-diced
1 small yellow onion- diced
1 can(s) evaporated milk
water
1 c broccoli florets
4 slice cooked bacon- crumbled
1 c fat free half and half
4 oz reduced fat cream cheese- cubed
1 can(s) campbell's broccoli cheese soup
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
4 medium scallions- diced

Steps:

  • 1. In dutch oven; add diced pototoes, onion and evaporated milk. Add just enough water to completely cover potatoes. Bring to a boil stirring constantly until potatoes are tender. Reduce heat to medium and add broccoli. Continue cooking until broccoli is crisp tender.
  • 2. Meanwhile, cook bacon and drain on paper towel. Crumble and add to pototoes. (I have also used left over diced ham)
  • 3. Add cream cheese and stir until completely melted into soup. Add half & half and broccoli cheese soup (undiluted). Continue stirring over medium heat until all ingredients are well incorporated and soup has thickened. Feel free to add more half & half to your disired consistency; as some of the liquid may evaporate during the cooking process.
  • 4. Remove from heat. Top with shredded cheese and scallions. Add salt and pepper to taste! Important note: By adding the soup and cream last keeps this soup from scalding on the bottom while potatoes are cooking.
