Broccoli Soup

Ingredients

You would never guess that this recipe is vegan! As a vegan, I sometimes wonder why we emphasize when some foods are plant-based because vegetables are delicious as they are and they do not need a label like plant-based or vegan to scare people off. Although broccoli soup can be intimidating on its own however. This broccoli soup is so perfect to cozy up to a fireplace with and maybe even make some gluten-free garlic bread to pair with it and a side salad. This recipe can be tedious at some points but it is worth it I promise. Give it a go and let us know if you try it by tagging us on Instagram at: @bare.health
