Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  2. Run the Hot Soup Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.  Blend for 5 minutes 45 seconds.

Chef's Notes

  • The cashew, hemp, and nutritional yeast mixture replace the traditional cheddar cheese in this recipe for a creamy finish in a soup so delicious you won't miss the cheddar cheese. If you don't want to make it separately, just add all the ingredients in the blend container with the soup ingredients.
  • This hearty soup is versatile and delicious as a dairy-free lunch or a fiber-filled dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) almond milk [or milk of choice ]
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) vegetable stock
  • 4 ½ cups (405 g) broccoli florets, steamed or roasted
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ cups (180 g) cheddar cheese, cut into large chunks

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  2. Run the Hot Soup Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.  Blend for 5 minutes 45 seconds.

Chef's Notes

  • For just a broccoli soup base, the cheddar may be omitted and replaced with an extra cup of cooked broccoli florets.  Pre-shredded cheese may create a thicker soup as it is coated with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
