Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 Tablespoon vegan buttery spread
  • ½ cup onion chopped
  • ¼ cup vegan buttery spread
  • ¼ cup gluten free flour blend or regular flour
  • 2 cups non-dairy milk
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 cups broccoli florets coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup carrots shredded
  • ⅓ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 6 ounces vegan cheddar cheese finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place the chopped onion and 1 tablespoon of vegan buttery spread in a large pot, and cook over medium heat until softened.
  • Add the ¼ cup vegan buttery spread and the gluten free flour, and whisk together until there are no lumps.
  • Slowly add the non-dairy milk and vegetable broth, and whisk well. Simmer for about 10 minutes, whisking often. It will start to thicken.
  • Add the broccoli and carrots, and cook over low heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Add the salt and pepper.
  • Puree the soup using a hand blender. You can decide how smooth you want your soup to be - I like to leave some pieces of vegetables in there.
  • Add the vegan cheddar cheese and stir well over low heat until it melts. Season with more salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

I like the flavor of the Daiya Cheddar Block cheese in this soup. I've also used the Cheddar Style Slices. If you have a favorite vegan cheese, go ahead and use that one instead.
If you aren't vegan, you can use dairy cheese and dairy butter.
Store leftover soup in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for 3-4 days.
I don't recommend freezing this soup, the texture will be affected.
You can use frozen broccoli florets if desired, rather than fresh broccoli. If you don't have broccoli, you could use cauliflower.
