Ingredients

  • 1 Tbls Avocado Oil or olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Yellow Onion diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Carrots peeled & chopped
  • 4 Yukon Gold Potatoes large (or russet) peeled & cubed
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth*
  • 14.5 oz Can of Coconut Milk full fat
  • 2 Tbls Nutritional Yeast
  • 1.5 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 2 cups Fresh Broccoli Florets chopped
  • 1 Lemon optional

Instructions

  • Heat the avocado oil in a large dutch oven or soup pot over medium low heat
    Add in the onions, carrots and garlic. Saute for 3 minutes
    Then add in the cubed potatoes, nutritional yeast, sea salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil and reduce to a gentle boil. Cook until potatoes are fork tender (about 10-12 minutes)
  • Once the potatoes are tender add in 1 cup of the broccoli florets and let gently boil another 3 minutes
    Turn the heat off and use immersion blender in the pot to blend the soup together
  • Stir in the coconut milk and remaining broccoli florets. Turn to medium low heat and cook another 5-7 minutes or until broccoli is tender (I like mine to still have a little crunch to it)
  • Remove from heat and taste for salt and pepper
    (optional) Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice for a lovely added flavor

Notes

*Use vegetable broth to keep this vegan and
