Vegan Broccoli Potato Soup
The reason why this soup is so tasty compared to other recipes I tried is that there are so many “secret ingredients” in this soup. I start with a simple mirepoix, which is celery, carrot and onion. In my opinion, this is the perfect base for any soup. Adding potato to the soup adds a nice thickness and velvety texture once the soup is blended. With the broccoli, I like to ensure that I’m using the entire thing. I peel the stalk to get rid of the outer fibrous layer, then I slice up the stalk and separate the florets.
Using flour also helps to thicken the soup, just make sure you are cooking the flour before adding additional liquid, or you will be left with a raw flour flavour that is quite unpleasant. The nutritional yeast adds a subtle cheesiness that accompanies broccoli perfectly. Lastly, we add soy milk to increase the creaminess and protein to the soup. Other unsweetened plant-based milk would also work but I like soy because it does not separate and it has a neutral flavour while bringing the creamy aspect to the soup.
Looking for a gluten-free vegan broccoli potato soup?
You can omit flour from this recipe if you need it to be gluten-free. Just keep in mind the flour adds thickness, so if you need to leave it out due to gluten issues, your soup may require less broth or it could be on the liquidy side, but not a major issue as the taste will still be there.
Blending is up to you, I prefer using an immersion blender in the pot but use what you have, you can carefully pour the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth before serving. I like my soup very well blended but you can leave it a little bit chunky if you prefer.
