Vegan Broccoli Cheese Soup

Makes 4 Servings (1 1/2 cup per serving)

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • ½ cup onion, chopped
  • 1 ½ cup broccoli
  • 1 cup cauliflower, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 4 cup vegetable stock, low sodium

Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 375 °F.
  2. Chop the broccoli and separate the large end of the stems from the florets leaving just a bit on the florets to keep them together.
  3. Heat 1 tsp. of oil in a large pot. Add onions and sauté until starting to soften.
