Some days, I end up feeling like I’m in a meal time rut. Just cooking the same things over and over, with little variety. So because of that, I’m always on the hunt for new recipes. Just recently, a health conscious friend of mine shared her {Dairy Free, Gluten Free} Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe. She’s super healthy, offers classes at the local gym, and even teaches healthy eating workshops. So I thought we’d give it a try. Half the family was down with some sort of bug but the ones who were able to try it enjoyed it well enough. I think I’d prefer real milk in it so I may switch out the coconut milk next time. But all in all, if you’re looking for a healthy option, this wasn’t too bad.
Eating Healthier With A {Dairy Free, Gluten Free} Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe
This soup came together fairly easily and didn’t require too many dishes so that was a plus. For starters, boil vegetable broth and cauliflower for about 15 minutes.
During that time, slice up the carrots and chop broccoli.
After the 15 minutes, blend the cauliflower to a puree with an immersion blender.
To the pot, add: vegetable broth, carrots, broccoli, garlic salt, sea salt, thyme, and black pepper. Stir. Then cover and let simmer for 7 to 10 minutes.
Add coconut milk and nutritional yeast. Mix to combine.
Simmer for another 2 minutes.
And then serve.

Honestly I do not think that I would like the coconut milk either! I also do not get where the cheese comes from if there is no cheese in it, lol, but I am also a big cheese lover. 🙂 I would definitely give it a try though, my son is lactose intolerant so it sounds like the perfect choice for him!

The Nutritional Yeast is actually what gives it a slightly cheesy flavor. Totally threw me for a loop too!

This sounds and looks good.Normally I am a cheese freak, but sometimes when youre sick, milks and such dont sit well. This would be a nice alternative for situations like that. I think too it would be good any time it is cold, and really good for you since it has a lot of vegetables.

Looks interesting but have to agree got to have some changes. I have never bought coconut milk so it would be the real milk.

Ummm can you make this for me? I am a week out from my infusion therapy (similar to chemo) for Lupus and now I have a horrid infection that is trying to turn to kidney failure. This looks so good…no joke! My husband is a hearty meat stew/soup eater and I am a veggie eater. I am planning to go to his delivery job with his today, just to ride along and distract myself and was thinking Panera broccoli cheese soup and sandwich but this looks better. I wish I had the energy to make it, but maybe I can sit and chop and will myself to get it done. Thanks for these recipes!!
