BROCCOLI & WHITE BEAN SOUP RECIPE
Prep time: 15 min
Cooking time: 20-30 min Total time: 45 min
Servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
1 yellow onion - diced
3-4 garlic cloves - crushed
3-4 yellow potatoes - diced
1 large head of broccoli (stem included) - cut in large florets
6 cups of water
3 bouillon cubes
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp Italian herbs
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 can (398 ml) white navy beans - drained and rinsed
1 cup unsweetened soy milk (or any unsweetened plant milk)
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
Toppings:
Kale chips
Drizzle of oat cream
How to make it:
Drizzle olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the onion until tender.
Add the garlic, potatoes, broccoli, the bouillon cubes and all the herbs and spices. Stir well to coat.
Add the water and cover to simmer for 15-20 minutes (or until the potatoes are cooked through and you can easily poke with a fork).
Turn the heat off and add in the white navy beans, soy milk and nutritional yeast.
Use an immersion blender or pour the soup into a high speed blender (this is my preferred method as it gives it a smoother finish. You will need to blend it in two batches as is it a large amount).
Serve in your favourite bowl and add toppings of your liking. Enjoy!
