Recipe Summary Vegetarian Broccoli And Cauliflower Soup

Growing up I always loved my mom's broccoli and cauliflower soup! Now that I'm an adult, I've created my own version suited to my personal tastes. This is a vegetarian soup and can easily be made vegan with dairy substitutes (I use soy milk). My fiance likes reduced-fat sharp Cheddar and crackers with his soup. Enjoy!

Ingredients | Fermented Broccoli And Cauliflower

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed

½ yellow onion, chopped

1 leek, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

½ head broccoli, cut into florets

3 red potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces

1 (32 ounce) carton low-sodium vegetable broth

water to cover

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, or more to taste

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

1 bay leaf

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

1 (12 fluid ounce) can fat-free evaporated milk

3 tablespoons whole wheat flour, or as needed

1 tablespoon curry powder

Directions

Heat olive oil in a stockpot over medium-low heat; cook and stir onion, leek, and garlic until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add cauliflower, broccoli, and potatoes to onion mixture; cook and stir until potatoes are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Increase heat to medium-high; stir broth and enough water to cover vegetables into mixture. Stir curry powder, turmeric, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into broth-vegetable mixture. Loosely cover pot with a lid and bring soup to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are softened, 20 to 25 minutes.

Whisk milk and flour together in a bowl until smooth and thickened; stir into soup along with nutritional yeast until soup is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove soup from heat and allow to slightly cool and thicken.

All the spices are optional, and you should season to taste.

Add flour to thicken to personal preference.

Feel free to use a hand immersion blender once soup is cool to make a smooth soup.
