Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 cups Broccoli florets
• 5 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small chunks. Add the potatoes to the pot and stir well.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are slightly tender.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooking, chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Add the broccoli to the pot and continue simmering for another 10 minutes, until the broccoli and potatoes are soft.

Step 6

Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, taking care to vent the blender lid to avoid pressure build-up.

Step 8

Return the soup to low heat and stir in the unsweetened almond milk. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes, but do not boil.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or pepper as needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
