Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Nothing says comfort like a big bowl of creamy soup. The weather has been so cold this was exactly what I wanted and needed. This doesn't take that long to make and is so delicious!!! You definitely will not be disappointed in this comfort in a bowl.

  • 1 cup sweet onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3 cups vegetable broth (I like Better Than Bouillion)
  • 4 cups unsweetened Almond & Coconut Milk
  • 3 cups broccoli, chopped small
  • 1 1/2 cups carrot, grated
  • 1 cup vegan cheddar cheese (I used Daiya)
  • Salt & Pepper to taste


Cook the onion and garlic on medium heat in a large soup pot for about 5 minutes.

Add the butter to the pot and let it melt.

Add the flour and mix well, stir and let it cook about 3-5 minutes.

Stir in the vegetable broth and milk. Whisk well until the flour is completely blended in and not clumps remain.

Bring mixture to a boil.

Turn heat to medium and add broccoli and carrots.

Cook for 10 minutes.

Add cheese and stir well until cheese is completely melted.

I used my immersion blender and blended the soup for a minute. You don't want to blend it totally. You still want some pieces of carrot and broccoli.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm. I served this with a half of a sandwich. But a nice crusty bread or crackers would also be good.
Enjoy!!
