Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup Recipe: delicious beginning to any meal, satisfying light meal for 2 people, with Oatmeal Date Nut Muffins or crusty bread with hummus.
Total Prep And Cook Time: 60 Minutes
6 Servings
Nutrition Data Per Serving: GF, Low GI, 94 cal, 6g fat, 9g carb, 4g protein, 3g fiber, 191 mg sodium, good source Vit A, C & K. Estimated glycemic load 4
Gluten Free and Low Glycemic Index: Rice milk is high in carboydrates (24 g per cup) so we recommend using unsweetened plain almond milk (2 g carbs per cup) as a low GI alternative.
Chickpea or besan flour is a lower GI and gluten free alternative to white flour for thickening the soup. Serve this broccoli soup with slices of fried polenta (Italian corn pudding) as a delicious, gluten free, lower GI accompaniment.
If you don't want to make soup stock, use unsalted veggie bouillon cubes. But soup stock is easy to make, raises your recipes to a whole other level, and it makes you feel superior having home made soup stock in the fridge.
This dairy free broccoli cream soup has a fresh, delicate flavor without onions & garlic but if you can't live without them, sauté onions & garlic gently in a little oil for 10 minutes first to mellow the flavors.
Other vegetables may be substituted for broccoli. Use cauliflower, asparagus, spinach, celery, potato & leek, or combinations.
Mmm Mmm good!!!!! - Polly K.
