Creamy Broccoli and Potato SoupRain or shine, it’s always time for a bowl of soup in my book. My husband hates when I make soup and it’s not raining (even if he thinks the soup is delicious), he just finds it odd that one would want soup on a hot day? I say soup it up! And soup it up with this Creamy Broccoli and Potato Soup!

I am a huge fan of potato-leek soup and this is a variation of it with a ton of broccoli in it for more flavor and more greens! It’s dairy-free and still super creamy, thanks to the addition of the potatoes and the coconut milk. 

Next time you’re stuffed from the weekend and want a nice and clean meatless Monday, give this Creamy Broccoli and Potato Soup a try. It’s light, yet filling and very yummy! Enjoy!
