broccoli florets ((from about 2 heads))

thyme

Salt and black pepper

Tbsp all-purpose flour

In a large pot over medium heat, melt 1 1/2 Tbsp of the butter. Add carrots, celery and onion and saute 3 - 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer.

Stir in chicken broth, potatoes and thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium, cover with lid and cook 15 minutes. Stir in broccoli and cook 5 minutes longer or until veggies are tender.

Meanwhile, melt remaining 4 Tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, whisking constantly 1 minute. While whisking vigorously, slowly pour in milk (whisk well until no lumps remain).

Cook stirring constantly until mixture begins to gently boil and thicken, stir in heavy cream. Remove from heat and once all veggies are tender pour into the soup and stir. Remove from heat and stir in cheddar and parmesan cheese until melted. Serve warm.

Vegetable Chowder (Easy, Vegan!)

carrot

gold potato (about 1 large)

garlic

vegetable broth

garbanzo beans

sweet peas (I use frozen)

beans

sweet corn (I use frozen)

Italian seasoning

Garnish (optional): chives, fresh parsley

raw cashews, soaked*

water

Tbsp. nutritional yeast

Tbsp. tamari

cornstarch

white miso (optional)

Prepare veggies: Dice onion, carrot, and potato. Mince garlic.

Begin soup: In a stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion and carrot for 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.) When onion is soft, add potato, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir and sauté 2-3 minutes.

Cook soup: Add broth, garbanzo beans (rinsed and drained), peas, green beans, and corn. Bring to a light boil. Then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Make cashew cream: Meanwhile, place all cashew cream ingredients in a small high-speed blender. (I use a NutriBullet which works great.) Blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth.

Combine: After the soup simmers for 20 minutes, add cashew cream. Heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until thickened. (The soup will continue to thicken as it sits.) Serve warm with salt &amp; pepper to taste or chopped chives or parsley if desired.

This recipe was amazing!  I substituted the veggies with portabello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, and celery - The chickpeas end up with a potato flavor - I added a couple of jarred jalapeno's and kale to the cashew creme for a little pop.  I wasn't sure what to expect but my husband loved how the soup thickened while it cooled and the flavor was out of control!  Regardless of what you stack the broth with, you will love this!!  It was sooooo good!

Excited to make this tonight! I’ve made so many of your recipes and they’ve never disappointed! Thank you for sharing!

I have made this recipe a half dozen times and my entire family LOVES it!  I like to add a couple Not-Chick’n bouillon cubes for more seasoning,  and occasionally Gardein Chick’n Strips (only at hubby’s request since he’s a meat eater (yuck)). Either way it’s so delicious! I serve with cornbread or biscuits and it’s now our go-to comfort meal. Thanks for another great recipe I keep in my back pocket.

Excellent soup!! Made it for dinner and everyone loved it. We can't wait to make it again!

This turned out so amazing!! The whole family loved it... even the meat eaters! Thanks for posting such an easy, delicious recipe!
