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
- 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.
- 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)
- Add broccoli, cover and cook over medium low heat for an additional 10 minutes.
- 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.
- Season soup with salt, freshly ground black pepper and oregano.
- Add more milk for a thinner consistency and add any additional salt and pepper if needed.
- 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?
There was a mistake with the nutrition label. I updated it. Hope you enjoy the soup!
Flour & real milk be substituted for the other garbage?
Hi Jonetta, Yes, you can substitute flour and milk for arrowroot starch & almond milk. Hope you enjoy it!
This sounds like the perfect comfort food!
This has just become my new favorite soup recipe! Oh my yum!
I haven’t frozen the soup before but I think that it should work just fine.
I love these photos! They’re making me wish that I had a cozy bowl of this soup in front of me right now. It’s been so chilly the last few days and I need some serious warming up!
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!
What a gorgeous and tasty looking soup! Pinning to my soup board for later, thank you for sharing!
give me a spoon, a big one, please! whta a delicious soup, yummy!
This is one great looking soup. I could live on soup for the rest of my life.
This looks to be the perfect soup for this cold winter day, in December! Actually, I think I could love this one on any day of the year. Thanks so much for sharing!
This looks DELICIOUS – much better than the bowl of canned soup I’m currently eating for lunch.
