2. Cream of Broccoli Soup
Wait, what? How can cream of anything be vegan? The trick with this soup is that the creaminess comes from a mashed potato, not from any dairy. This soup is quick and easy to make! Perfect for a busy evening.
Ingredients:
- 2T olive oil
- 1/2 an onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, mince
- 1 large potato, cubed
- 2c broccoli, cut into florets
- 2c veggie broth
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium high heat and cook the onions and garlic until the onions turn translucent.
Add the broth and cubed potatoes, boiling until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Add the broccoli and simmer for 5 more minutes, then either transfer to your blender in batches or use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it’s smooth.

+ add your ownI just made 'Macaroni and Peas', with tri-colour vegetable pasta -penne rigate - the taste is good, just remember to cover it before baking, it dried up on top. Ok. with green salad to add moisture. Plenty lefover. I will have to add water before reheating.
My favorate is Lingwine with garlic and/or broccoli. I like the motion of rolling arond the fork.
Another good list, Becky. And I agree with Laura M's comments that 'Vegan' food can stand on its own without having to imitate meat-filled recipes. Go Vegan, Go Vegan! For your body and the world...
Ι am not a vegan, but I will definitely try the cream broccoli soup, as I love soups, potatoes and broccoli! Thanks for sharing.
Potatoes are wonderful for thickening soups and sauces. Thanks
Some of these look pretty good.
Thanks Care2
