Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 1 cup carrot shredded or chopped
  • 6 cups broccoli chopped into flowerets
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk unsweetended plain plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup 1/2 & 1/2 cream or plain plant-based creamer
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese freshly shredded

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add onion and saute 5 minutes or until soft.
  • Add carrots, broccoli, salt, pepper, and broth. Bring to a simmer, cover pot and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • At this point if you would like to blend - remove from heat and use an immersion blender. Or, in batches, use a regular blender, then return to pot. I blend about half of soup.
  • Add milk, and cream. Heat through. Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir.
  • If desired, add more salt and/or pepper to taste.
  • Serve and enjoy!
