Spotlight on Health Webinar – Demystifying Nutrition—What Are “Normal” Nutrient Values?

Join Dr. Michael Hollie on Wednesday, November 6th, at 7 p.m. ET for a special evening with Dr. Milton Mills and bodybuilder Geoff Palmer. In this unique webinar, they will bust some common myths about the nutrients we must consume to be healthy, from protein to calcium. Many people have an overcomplicated relationship with these nutrients based on reductionist thinking, but there is a simpler and more effective approach. As Dr. T. Colin Campbell writes, “The misguided may trumpet the virtues of one specific nutrient or chemical, but this thinking is too simplistic. Our bodies have learned how to benefit from the chemicals in food as they are packaged together, discarding some and using others as they see fit.” Whether you are new to the whole food, plant-based lifestyle or are a plant-based veteran, you will gain key takeaways for your plant-based journey. Can’t make it live? No worries. We’ll send a recording to all registrants a week after the event so you can watch it at your convenience.

Recipes » Soups » “Cream” of Broccoli Soup

By Lindsay S. Nixon

(11)

Indulge in the wholesome, cozy goodness of our plant-based Cream of Broccoli Soup. The hint of cooked potato and optional plant-based milk give it a rich and creamy texture while the fresh herbs and nutritional yeast offer a savory flavor. Finally, the splash of fresh lemon juice and the pepper garnish add a touch of zest and warmth.

Prep: 12 mins Cook: 28 mins Yield: 2 servings

Gluten Free Low Sugar Nut Free Soy Free

Ingredients

½ cup diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, divided
½ cup diced potato, cooked (see tips)
2 ½ cups broccoli florets
1 cup plant-based milk (optional)
Fresh or dried basil or thyme, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
Fresh lemon juice (optional)
Red pepper flakes or black pepper, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a heated medium saucepan, sauté onion and garlic until onion is translucent.
2. Add 1 cup broth and cooked potato and let simmer until potato is very soft and tender.
3. Add broccoli and cook until it is very tender. (If you prefer a soup with some broccoli pieces, scoop some out before they’re waterlogged and mushy, set them aside, and stir them in at the end).
4. Transfer soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and purée with plant-based milk (if using) and additional broth until you achieve a soupy consistency.
5. Add basil or thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
6. Return blended soup to your saucepan, add nutritional yeast, and let simmer.
7. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over soup before serving (if using) and garnish with red pepper flakes or fresh black pepper.

Cooking Tips

1. You can also use an uncooked potato, but it will take longer and require more liquid. Using leftovers, such as a baked potato from the night before, is the easiest choice.
