Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups diced Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast

  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 3 cups carrots diced

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, sauté onion and celery until softened, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent sticking.

  • Add potatoes, carrots, and vegetable broth; bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in soy milk, nutritional yeast, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and blend until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender in batches.
  • Mix in steamed broccoli and lemon juice, and simmer briefly until warmed through.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, ensure the potatoes are thoroughly cooked before blending.
  • Use fresh or frozen broccoli; both work perfectly in this recipe.
