If you’re looking for a meal that’s…
- super clean and fresh
- made with healthy real foods
- creamy and nourishing
You’ve found it with this Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup!
Packed with powerhouse veggies like broccoli and zucchini, healthy fats like avocado and coconut oil, and topped with pumpkin seeds and/or hemp seeds for protein – this is a well balanced soup that makes a perfect accompaniment to a meal, or have a big bowl all on its own. (And pssst… if you’re not a nutritional yeast, there is NONE in this recipe!)
Some of the creaminess comes from the So Delicious Organic Almondmilk with Cashews that I just found at Walmart. I was really excited to find this new line of non-dairy milks, because they use minimal ingredients (carrageenan- and preservative-free) and are also ORGANIC! That can be hard to find in this category, and especially for the price, it’s quite amazing! The blend of cashews with almonds really makes for a smooth, balanced creaminess.
I got all 3 flavors – unsweetened, original and vanilla – and have been enjoying them in my morning herbal coffee, poured over my homemade Healthy High- Protein Grain-Free Granola (Sugar Free!) with some fruit, and in recipes like this Cream of Broccoli Soup. They’re delicious, vegan, gluten free and organic – what more could you want out of a non-dairy milk?!
Fun fact: The So Delicious Organic Almondmilk with Cashews bottle is made from renewable sugarcane! Each bottle is made from at least 80% plants, and it’s also recyclable. You can find all 3 flavors at your local Walmart.

Save RecipeIngredients
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 cup diced onion (about 1/2 of a large onion)
- 3/4 tsp ground celery seed
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked pepper
- 1/2 tsp turmeric or Indian curry seasoning
- 1 cup So Delicious Organic Unsweetened Almondmilk with Cashew
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 4.5 cups zucchini, largely diced (about 3 large)
- 4 cups broccoli, chopped (can use fresh or frozen; I used frozen)
- 1 Tbsp Hot Sauce + more to taste
- 1/2 cup avocado (about 1/2 of a large avocado) - can use up to 1 cup avocado
- 1 head of broccoli (fresh), chopped into florets for roasting
- salt, pepper, garlic powder and/or All-Purpose Seasoning
- hemp seeds
- pumpkin seeds (toasted or raw)
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the coconut oil, and when warm, add the onion along with the spices (celery seed, salt, pepper, turmeric or Indian curry seasoning). Saute for about 5 - 7 minutes, until onions are soft.
- Stir in the almondmilk, veggie broth, zucchini, broccoli and hot sauce. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until veggies are soft.
- Blend about 2/3 of the soup with the avocado until creamy, then pour back into the pot. I like to keep some of the texture of the veggies, but if you want a completely pureed soup, blend it all.
- I like extra roasted broccoli on top of my soup! For this, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Chop broccoli into florets, put on baking sheet, and spray with oil (I like to use propellant-free coconut or avocado oil). Season generously with All-Purpose Seasoning, Garlic Powder, salt and/or pepper.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Stir/flip broccoli, and cook for another 15 - 20 minutes until roasted.
- Top soup bowls with roasted broccoli, hemp seeds and/or pumpkin seeds.
