Potatoes are a versatile ingredient to have in your pantry. Since it is considered as a starch (not a vegetable), you can use it as a thickener to give a creamy texture to the soup. This creamless broccoli soup can easily fool you and your guests for a cream of broccoli soup. This soup requires only three main ingredients, making it vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free. Tip: if the soup is too salty, add more steamed broccoli instead of water.

I love the use of potato instead of cream. Broccoli is so good for you. Your soup looks healthy and delish!
ReplyDeleteA broccoli version of vichyssoise minus the cream - yum. I love broccoli in soup. Great suggestion to use potatoes to thicken.
ReplyDeleteNow this is a soup that I could eat and feel good about since there's no cream in it. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI tried a similar recipe once. My husband's tactful comment was, "It's definitely broccoli!" :) I'm glad yours turned out well, but I don't think I'll be trying it again.
