01.11.15 Dairy Free Broccoli, Cauliflower and Potato Soup

I'm not a chef. I don't know how to make special fancy dishes. I mean, I just recently learned how to cook Brussels sprouts. But I like to experiment with new recipes.

I like simple. I like minimal work. I like as few dishes and ingredients as possible.
At the same time, I like to eat dairy free if I can. And I like to eat vegetarian most days.

I've been on a huge soup kick lately. When my boyfriend asked me "when are you making me some broccoli soup?", I figured today would be as good a day as ever to try it out.

By combining a few different Pinterest recipes, I came up with my own version of Broccoli, Cauliflower and Potato soup. Bonus: it's dairy free!


Ingredients:
1/2 head of cauliflower
1 bunch of broccoli (not sure how much in cups. I cut up the whole head I bought from the store)
3 white potatoes
1 tbsp of onion powder
5-6 cups vegetable broth (I eyeballed it)
Salt and pepper as desired

Directions:
Peel and chop the potatoes. Chop the broccoli. Chop the cauliflower.

Add vegetables, vegetable broth, and onion powder to a large pot. Bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low.

Once potatoes are cooked through, remove the pot from the element. If you want your soup to be a bit thicker, you can remove some of the broth at this stage. I didn't do this, so it was a bit runny. I don't mind it either way.

Transfer the soup into a blender.  Blend until smooth. To get through all the soup I need to blend about 3-4 batches. My blender is quite pathetic and needs to be retired.

Once the soup is blended, add salt and pepper as desired. I use no-salt broth so I can control the amount of salt I want to add.

And voila. Serve with crackers, a warm bun, or enjoy it as it is!
