About Vegan Broccoli Soup
Baby, it's cold outside...and we need a soup right now. I have a quite "weird" relationship with soups. Either, I am really addicted to them and I am having one, every single day or I am not really "in the mood" for a few months. I really dislike the ready-made packaged"soups" in small sachets from the supermarkets, I think they are far away what we call "A real soup".
This easy Vegan soup is one of my favorites! During my working years in Qatar, I really had some great Broccoli soups, you know those creamy, rich in flavor ones that you can't resist! I really miss them. Since I left, one of my purposes is how to master a perfect Broccoli soup. I think I got it!
How to make the Ultimate Vegan Broccoli Soup
For the soup
For grilled onions
Step 5: Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Cut an onion in half and each half in half again. Divide the onions into slices with your fingers. Put them in a baking dish and sprinkle with coconut oil. Mix well and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Tips for the Vegan Broccoli Soup
- For vegetable broth, you can make your own or just use the ready-made ones.
- To make the baked onions instead of sauteed, cut an onion in half and then cut each half in half again. Put the pieces in a baking tray, heat up the coconut oil and sprinkle it over the onions. Bake them for 10-15 minutes until golden.
Tips for the Coconut Cream
There two ways you can make the cream.
- Mix 2tbsp of flour in a cup of coconut milk, or
- After Sautéing your vegetables, add the flour, mix well with the vegetables and then add the coconut milk.
Both will give you the same delicious result.
Easy Vegan Soup Blend Time
I would like to emphasize that the type of blender you use will determine the soup texture. If you want achieve a perfect velvet texture you have to use a high-quality blender. In my case, for now, I just have a small blender. My dream is a Vitamix! Can you hear me Santa?
In addition, if you want a thicker soup you can use 1tbsp more of flour in the recipe. I think I will go for a second tasting round.
