Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Soup Recipe

This week while you’re staying in and hunkering down, whip up a pot of my Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Soup that tastes rich and hearty like the real deal!⁣

I used my vegan mac and cheese recipe to swirl in with the mild broccoli soup to create an absolutely creamy dream. I promise your family won’t ever think (or need to know haha) that it’s fully vegan!⁣

You’ll make the broccoli soup and the “cheese” sauce separately then mix altogether for a creamy, velvety soup full of veggies that only tastes SO decadent.
