A veganized version of broccoli cheese soup to make in your Vitamix

Last Updated April 12, 2020

There are certain comfort foods that you just miss when you veganize your household.

For me, broccoli cheddar soup is one of them.

Doesn’t matter the season, snowy, rainy, windy, tropical… it’s always been a favorite.

This recipe couldn’t be any easier. Steam some broccoli and then throw all of your ingredients into your Vitamix.

It’s hearty, it’s comforting, and best of all, it’s dairy-free!

Make a batch for dinner tonight, you’re going to love it.

So easy, your sous chef could make it

I conceptualized this soup, bought all of the ingredients, and started to really crave the taste.

But then I got busy. Like crazy busy.

So I sent my sous chef, Lenny, a text.

Shalva: “Please make broccoli cheddar soup”

Lenny: “Um, I don’t do dairy”

Shalva: “Steam some broccoli, make your queso, and add some broth”

Lenny: “YUM!”

With those simple directions, I came home from running errands to a piping hot bowl of soup.

Well, the soup he served me was pretty good. But it wasn’t quite NOYOKE quality.

Side note: We’ve got a little joke in our kitchen that I always come in for the save.

For broccoli cheddar soup, you’re looking for a mild flavor. So I brainstormed what could cut the taste of the distinct nacho-ness a little.

Tofu! It’s virtually tasteless, has loads of protein and got us better optics (much closer to the original’s color and texture).

Perfect.

Make this soup and you’ll have a winner winner chicken-less dinner!
