3 ingredients are all it takes to make a delicious vegan version of one of our most popular soups, Broccoli Cheddar. Use this as a base recipe for any style soup, possibly with leftover cooked asparagus, cauliflower or carrots.

Ingredients

• 4 cups (960 ml) vegetable stock [or your stock preference]
• 4 cups (450 g) broccoli, steamed florets
• 1 cup (110 g) Vegan Parmesan Cheese (Immersion Chopper)

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 5 minutes 45 seconds.

Notes

The cashew, hemp, and nutritional yeast mixture replace the traditional cheddar cheese in this recipe for a creamy finish in a soup so delicious you won't miss the cheddar cheese. If you don't want to make it separately, just add all the ingredients in the blend container with the soup ingredients.
