Vegan Broccoli Soup is a creamy, hearty, and nutritious dish made with fresh broccoli, savory seasonings, and a rich coconut milk base. This easy-to-make soup is perfect for a light meal or side dish and is both comforting and dairy-free.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 1 large head)

3 cups vegetable broth

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk (or any other plant-based milk)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, for extra flavor)

Juice of 1/2 lemon (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add the Broccoli and Broth: Add broccoli florets and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir, cover, and bring the soup to a simmer.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.
  4. Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or blend in batches in a regular blender. For a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
  5. Add the Coconut Milk and Seasoning: Stir in coconut milk, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Finish with Lemon Juice: Optionally, add lemon juice to brighten the flavors. Stir well.
  7. Serve: Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with herbs or croutons if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

For added flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or fresh diced chilies for spice.

Feel free to add other vegetables like kale, spinach, or cauliflower for extra nutrients.

To thicken the soup, you can blend in cooked potatoes or carrots for a creamier texture.
