I love cheesy things, and by being vegan I have to get very creative with creating cheesy flavors without them being too over the top. Broccoli and cheese soup was an all-time favorite for me growing up. Unfortunately, it either came from a box or a can. The canned-shaped globs that would plop into the soup pan weren’t very appetizing to me. I always preferred fresh soups over canned as a kid. Even then I could taste the difference in quality.

Since the shift to veganism, I’m sad to say that it has taken me so long to create my own version of the all-time classic, but I’m happy that it’s finally here. I knew I could make something that was far more healthy than the jello-like globs of canned soup I grew up on, and I did! This recipe is something that I am proud to put in my body and tastes quite great, I must say. It’s healthy comfort food at its finest! Perfect for this time of year.

Leaving out all the unnecessary highly processed ingredients including cream and cheese, this soup combines my love of broccoli and cheese with my passion for health and vitality. What I also love about this recipe is that you can make it both raw and cooked, depending on where you are with your health and what you desire to eat at the moment.

Notes

This soup is great cold or hot. I used my Blendtec for this recipe since this blender has a soup settling. It comes out warm enough to eat but cold enough to still provide all the benefits of a raw meal.

Health Benefits

Broccoli is high in fiber and has been known to help lower cholesterol due to the soluble fiber in the vegetable, which binds with the cholesterol in the blood, making it easier to excrete. Broccoli is also packed with phytochemicals and antioxidants and has high amounts of potassium, B6, and vitamin A. It’s also very high in vitamin C and is great for boosting the immune system. Many cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, may help to protect against some stomach and intestinal cancers. They also have been known to balance estrogen levels, which may help reduce the risk of breast cancer. In addition to reducing cholesterol, broccoli can help keep blood vessels strong. The anti-inflammatory properties in broccoli may be able to prevent/ reverse damage to blood vessel linings caused by chronic blood sugar problems.
