Vegan Broccoli and Almond Soup Instructions
- Begin by washing the broccoli heads and cutting them into small florets.
- Take your almonds and set a handful aside for garnishing later.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Introduce the minced garlic and stir for another 2 minutes until it’s aromatic.
- It’s time to toss in the broccoli florets and the remaining almonds.
- Pour in the vegetable stock, ensuring the broccoli is submerged. If needed, add a bit of water.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring this mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
- Using a blender, puree the soup in batches until it’s smooth.
- Return the soup to the pot and stir in the almond milk, warming it up for another 5 minutes. Ensure it doesn’t boil.
- Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Tips
- For added creaminess, soak the almonds in water overnight and blend them to create an almond paste. You can mix this paste into the soup.
- If the soup is too thick for your liking, you can always dilute it with a little extra vegetable stock or water.
- Don’t rush the sautéing process. Allowing the onions and garlic to cook properly will elevate the soup’s flavor profile.
Serving Suggestions
- Ladle the Vegan Broccoli and Almond Soup into bowls.
- Garnish with the handful of almonds you set aside. These can be roughly chopped or whole, depending on your preference.
- Serve with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal.
- Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil or almond milk on top for a finishing touch.
- If you’re in the mood for some heat, sprinkle a pinch of red chili flakes on top.
