    What you need

    • 1 – 2 Tbsp olive oil
    • 1 medium onion, diced
    • 2 – 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 32 oz homemade chicken/vegetable broth
    • 3 large carrots, peeled and diced
    • 5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed into small pieces
    • 2 small heads broccoli (washed and diced small)
    • 3 Tbsp butter
    • 1/4 cup arrowroot starch
    • 2 cups almond milk
    • 1 tsp salt
    • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 tsp dried oregano
    • 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
    • organic cheese, shredded (optional)

    Instructions

    1. In a large pot heat oil over medium high heat. Add onions and saute until translucent. Add minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add chicken broth, carrots, and potatoes. Bring to a boil and cover. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 10 minutes, or until potatoes are soft.
    2. Using a hand held stick mixer, puree the vegetables until almost all of them are pureed. (It’s okay to leave some vegetable chunks for texture)
    3. Add broccoli, cover and cook over medium low heat for an additional 10 minutes.
    4. While simmering, melt butter in a medium sauce pan. Whisk in the arrowroot starch, almond milk, and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 – 5 minutes, or until sauce has thickened. Remove from stove top and add sauce to the soup. Stir until well combined.
    5. Season soup with salt, freshly ground black pepper and oregano.
    6. Add more milk for a thinner consistency and add any additional salt and pepper if needed.
    7. Serve warm, and top with bacon pieces and cheese if desired.

    I see in the nutrition information that there is 20.4 g of saturated fat…that seems so high with these ingredients. Is that indeed correct?

    Jonetta

    Flour & real milk be substituted for the other garbage?

      Neli | Delicious Meets Healthy

      Hi Jonetta, Yes, you can substitute flour and milk for arrowroot starch & almond milk. Hope you enjoy it!

    I haven’t frozen the soup before but I think that it should work just fine.

    Oh this looks simply delicious! I just made a big batch of potato and leek soup for tonight, but now I am thinking I may have to add some broccoli in there too 🙂

    I love soups that are creamy, but deceptively healthy. Broccoli and cheese soup tends to be really heavy, but this like a great alternative to a calorie laden soups!
