Vegan broccoli “cheeze” soup FAQ:
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months; just ensure it's in a freezer-safe container.
If the soup is too thick, you can add more vegetable broth or water gradually until you reach your desired consistency. Blend again to combine.
If you don’t have nutritional yeast, you can use vegan cheese or omit it, but the soup will have a different flavor profile. Adjust seasoning to compensate.
A large pot (at least 4-6 quarts) is recommended to accommodate the vegetables and broth comfortably, allowing for adequate stirring and simmering.
The vegetables are done when they are easily pierced with a fork. For broccoli, it should be tender yet bright green, which typically takes about 5 minutes of simmering.
Cooking Tips:
- Chop the vegetables uniformly for even cooking.
- Make sure to cook the cauliflower until it's very tender to achieve a smooth, creamy texture when blending the soup.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of vegetable broth slightly.
- For a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and leave the other half with vegetable chunks.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste; you can add more garlic powder, salt, or black pepper as needed.
- Serve the soup with a slice of crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
