This quick, blended creamy dairy-free broccoli soup recipe is super easy to make, especially if you roast the veggies ahead of time.
The trick to make this soup super creamy without any dairy is to use a high-speed blender. I use and recommend the Blendtec brand (affiliate link included). You won’t believe how the ingredients transform into a light and fluffy texture in less than 30 seconds.
The ingredients for this vegan broccoli soup are probably ones you have in your kitchen or are easy to find:

Notes
*paleo friends can use chicken broth to increase the protein content of this recipe.
This recipe makes enough for two big servings or four small ones. I can say that I really love this soup, and I’m not even that big of a broccoli fan. I’ve been making this recipe almost every week lately as part of my weekly meal prep (see more meal prep ideas here).
The color is pretty too and pretty food always taste more delicious, right?!

May 27, 2015 at 10:10 amI made this today for lunch (had all the ingredients). I was surprised by the combination! It was delicious. I don’t, however, have a Blendec so I used my emulsifier instead. It wasn’t as smooth as yours. Actually chunky but I like it that way. Thank you for the recipe.

June 2, 2015 at 11:09 amThis looks delicious and I may even sneak this past my pick eater three year old so that she won’t realize there are veggies in it. 🙂 I also may add in some radicchio for the superfood health benefits and because I think it would taste great. Thank you for sharing!

April 12, 2019 at 6:13 amSeems to have a lot of sodium. Can you recommend a substitute?
