Broccoli Cheese Soup

This cheesy favorite is ready in just minutes. Ladle over steamed broccoli pieces for added texture.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (240 ml) almond milk [or or milk of choice]
• ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable stock
• 3 cups (270 g) broccoli florets, steamed or roasted
• ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup (120 g) cheddar cheese, cut into large chunks

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Run the Hot Soup Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 7 minutes 30 seconds.

Notes

For just a broccoli soup base, the cheddar may be omitted and replaced with an extra cup of cooked broccoli florets. Pre-shredded cheese may create a thicker soup as it is coated with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
