Gluten-Free Broccoli Cheddar Soup
This Gluten-Free Broccoli Cheddar Soup is ready in just 25 minutes and has a rich flavor but without heavy cream or flour!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 5 cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
- ½ onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups almond milk, plain and unsweetened (or any plant-based milk or regular milk)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, (or plant-based cheese to make it vegan/dairy-free)
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch Oven, heat olive oil over medium heat and add carrots. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add the onion, broccoli, and garlic and continue sautéing for 2 more minutes.
- Add the almond milk, vegetable broth, and salt and stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Turn heat off.
- Use an immersion blender (or allow soup to cool and transfer to a blender) and blend soup until smooth. I like to leave a few chunks of broccoli and carrots in mine! If using a regular blender, carefully transfer soup back to the pot.
- Add the cheese to the soup and stir until the cheese is fully melted. Serve warm!
Notes
Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for approximately 3 days.
Freezer: Let the soup cool completely and then transfer the soup to an airtight freezer-safe container. I love to use Souper Cube Trays to freeze soup! Store the soup in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheating: When you’re ready to use the soup, thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat it in the microwave or a pot on the stove. If you don’t have time to thaw it, you can immerse the freezer container in warm water until it’s mostly thawed. Alternatively, you can pop the frozen soup directly into a large pot and heat it over medium heat until heated through. This can also be done in the microwave.
