| 1.5 lb. broccoli | |
| 10 oz yellow potatoes (washed and cut into small chunks) | |
| 4 celery sticks (chopped) | |
| 1 large onion (chopped) | |
| 6 cloves garlic (chopped) | |
| 3 tablespoons olive oil | |
| 4 cups warm vegetable broth | |
| 2 cups warm water | |
| 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast | |
| 1 tablespoon salt | |
| 1/2 teaspoon pepper | |
| 1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped |
Preparation
1
In a large pot, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 1 minute.
2
Stir in the celery and potatoes, and sauté for an additional 3 minutes until the celery begins to soften.
3
Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well and continue to cook for another minute.
4
Pour in the warm vegetable broth and warm water. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about five minutes.
Add the chopped broccoli to the pot and cook for another 3 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool down slightly.
5
Once cooled a bit, transfer the soup to a blender. Blend the mixture but avoid over-blending. Aim for a consistency with small pieces of broccoli remaining for texture.
Transfer the partially blended soup back to the pot and heat over medium-high until it comes to a boil again
6
Reduce the heat and stir in the nutritional yeast and fresh mint. Mix well.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary
7
Serve and enjoy your creamy, hearty broccoli soup!
(Note: Remember, for the best flavor, try not to blend too much. Those tiny bits of broccoli add a delightful texture and enhance the soup's heartiness.)
