Ingredients

  • 4 cups broccoli, chopped
  • 1 cup Mother Mix + 1 1/2 cups water (See Recipe Instructions for link)
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (Add more to taste)
  • milk of choice, optionally, to thin the soup

Optionally, if you don't have the Mother Mix:

  • 3/4 cup almond flour {also called almond meal, or ground blanched almonds}
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons tapioca starch
  • 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast (Add more to taste)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Optionally, for serving

  • shredded cheese, of choice
  • more nutritional yeast
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, steam the broccoli for about 10 minutes or until tender.
  • Make the cheese sauce, by combining the Mother Mix, additional nutritional yeast, and water OR the individual ingredients, in the blender.
    Blend on high for one minute.
    Transfer to a small saucepan and cook and stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until cheese sauce is thick and stretchy. 
  • Put the steamed broccoli and cheese sauce in your blender and blend until it reaches your desired level of creaminess. If necessary, thin it out with a little milk or water.
    Taste and add salt and pepper as desired.
  • Optionally, garnish with a handful of shredded cheese of your choice, or some additional nutritional yeast.

Notes

Storage and Reheating

You can store the soup in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat it over low to medium heat, stirring to remove any thickened or curdled looking bits. 

Using Frozen Broccoli

We haven't tested this yet, but frozen broccoli would probably work fine for this recipe. Just follow the cooking directions on your package, and then combine it with the cheese sauce.
