This Creamy Broccoli Soup with Pesto is deeply nourishing, full of flavor, and made with simple ingredients in under 35 minutes. Gluten-free &amp; Vegan-adaptable!

Creamy Broccoli Soup with Pesto 

lbs broccoli, stems too!

olive oil (or butter, or ghee)

onion,

4-6 garlic cloves, rough chopped

veggie broth

almond milk (or cashew milk, whole milk

basil

salt

Pepper

cayenne (optional)

plain yogurt

Thinly slice the broccoli stems and break apart the florets into very small pieces. Chop the onion and garlic.

In a heavy bottom pot or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Saute the onion and garlic with a pinch of salt, until golden and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.

Add the broccoli stems, and pour in the stock or broth and bring to boil. Cover, lower heat, and simmer gently 3-4 minutes.

Place the broccoli florets over the top. Don&#8217;t mix them in. Cover, and simmer gently, allowing the florets to steam, until fork-tender, about 5 minutes. You want them tender enough to blend but not overly cooked or you&#8217;ll lose that vibrant color.

Turn the heat off. Blend in two batches (I found using a blender was better here, my immersion blender did not work as well) adding half of the almond milk to each batch, along with the basil. Blend until smooth. Add a handful of spinach for richer color if you like.

Return the soup to the pot and stir in the yogurt or sour cream or even a splash of heavy cream. Gently warm the soup and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with a swirl of pesto, crusty bread, or Parmesan crips. Enjoy!

Very  good  I used  coconut milk  and a mushroom  stalk for mine and added nutritional  yeast  as a cheese  sub very good

Excellent! I made this completely vegan - I had leftover vegan sour cream and arugula pesto in the freezer which I added to the pot (as per the expert tips) and it was simply delicious!

So delicious! A very different soup with a creamy yet vibrant feel. Thanks Sylvia, this is another gem I find through you.
