Makes 4 Servings (1½ cups per serving)

Ingredients

• 2 tsp olive oil, divided
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 1 cup cauliflower florets
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1½ cups broccoli florets (stems reserved and chopped)
• 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp fresh ground pepper
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Heat 1 tsp oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 – 4 minutes.
3. Add cauliflower, garlic and broccoli stems. Cook for 2 minutes, then add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine broccoli florets with remaining 1 tsp oil and toss to coat. Transfer broccoli to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast until tender and slightly crispy on the edges, about 10 – 15 minutes.
5. Add salt, pepper, spinach, nutritional yeast and almond milk to soup and cook just until spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes.
6. Remove from heat. Purée soup in batches in a blender. Alternatively, soup may be puréed using a handheld immersion blender.
7. Return soup to medium-low heat and cook until thickened and heated through, about 4 – 5 minutes.
8. Stir in roasted broccoli florets.
9. Serve and enjoy!
