ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cooked or canned chickpeas
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 ribs diced celery
- 2 julienned carrots
- 3 cups broccoli florets and stems, chopped
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 cup vegan cheese
- Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Method
Step 1
Add chickpeas and water to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat and add onions and garlic. Sauté for a minute or two to soften, then add carrots, celery, and chopped broccoli stems and cook for another minute. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Step 3
Add nutritional yeast and stir to combine with the veggies.
Step 4
Add chickpea mixture, vegetable broth, and spices. Bring to a boil, then add broccoli florets and lower to simmer. Simmer about 10 minutes or until broccoli florets are tender.
Step 5
Mix in vegan cheese and continue to simmer another 2 minutes, stirring frequently to melt the cheese. Once the cheese has melted into the soup, turn off the heat, and add salt/pepper to taste.
