Vegan Broccoli Soup with Spinach

With just a few simple ingredients and less than 30 minutes you could  be diving into a creamy bowl of this vegan broccoli soup. Don’t get me wrong, I love the more indulgent counterpart of this broccoli soup (broccoli cheddar) and I’m pretty confident about 50% of me is made of cheese.  However, most times I do prefer to enjoy healthier versions of my faves.  After all, balance 😉

What makes this vegan broccoli soup creamy? White kidney beans!  I’ve used this technique in other soups and even chili and it always works out great!  Beans thickens this broccoli soup substantially so there’s no need for heavy cream.  And, as an added bonus, they provide a nice hit of fibre.

To really amp up the ‘green power’ of this soup, baby spinach comes to the party. Spinach not only contributes to the colour, but provides added fibre and vitamins.  All good stuff!

Tips for Making this Healthy Broccoli Soup

  • This soup is on the thicker side.  However, if you prefer to enjoy it thinner simply add more veggie stock.
  • Nutritional yeast is used in this soup to add a subtle ‘cheese’ flavour, but you could omit if you prefer.
  • Want to garnish?  You can enjoy as is or with a vegan yogurt (or even a dab of coconut cream) swirled over top.
  • Have leftovers? The (cooled) soup can be placed into vacuum sealed bags and frozen for easy meals on busy weekdays.
