Vegan Broccoli Potato Soup
During my last family visit, I whipped up a vegan broccoli potato soup similar to this and was surprised at how flavorful it was. The potato adds a thicker consistency and the broth makes this soup super flavorful!
There are many things I love about my husband. It’s crazy how similar we are and how much closer we are becoming. There is one thing I just don’t understand about him though… He doesn’t like broccoli! Call me crazy, but I absolutely love broccoli.
When I was a kid, broccoli was one of the vegetables I happily enjoyed. I’ve gotten him into mushrooms, zucchini, spinach, and kale, but he won’t budge on this broccoli thing. UGH! Because I rarely have broccoli, I’m a bit crazy when I do get to enjoy it out at restaurants or when I’m back home.

Vegan Broccoli Potato Soup
This vegan broccoli potato soup, however, banks on the deliciousness of the plant-based ingredients, so you don’t have to feel bogged down. And if you do want a small indulgence, you can add a dab of butter or cream at the end, but I don’t think it needs it.
If you skip the butter or cream in the soup, you can all eat buttery toast with this soup! And since we know I’ll be eating this whole batch of soup on my own, I appreciate guilt-free deliciousness!
