It’s been a very mild fall here so far, but it’s finally starting to get cooler. Perfect soup weather. Creamy Broccoli Potato Soup weather to be exact. This soup is great because it uses potatoes to add a creamy texture so no heavy cream is necessary.
Another great thing about this soup is that it only takes about 30 minutes to make. Easy peasy and totally delicious.
This healthy soup recipe is vegan, gluten free and grain free. It also freezes well and it’s budget friendly. I used nutritional yeast to add a cheesy flavor, but you can omit if you like. Or, if you eat dairy, you could add a little cheese in place of it.
Next time, I will try this in the instant pot. I bet you could cut the cooking time way down that way. I will keep you posted. 🙂
