Questions

How much time should I plan for Creamy Broccoli Soup?

As written, 40 minutes: 15 of prep and 25 of cooking. The longest single stretch is step 3 (15 minutes): "Stir in 1 medium cubed russet potato, 1 lb chopped broccoli florets, and 4 cups vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes."

Can I make Creamy Broccoli Soup dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Creamy Broccoli Soup is 2 tbsp butter, 1 cup whole milk. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Is Creamy Broccoli Soup gluten-free?

Yes. As written, nothing in the ingredient list for Creamy Broccoli Soup is wheat, barley or rye. Gluten hides in packaged goods, so read the label on the broth.

How many calories are in Creamy Broccoli Soup?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 180 calories, with 6 g protein, 22 g carbohydrate and 9 g fat, plus 4 g fiber and 680 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How long does Creamy Broccoli Soup keep?

Refrigerate Creamy Broccoli Soup for up to four days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it. The potatoes turn grainy in the freezer, so this one is better kept in the refrigerator. If you plan to freeze it, stir the dairy in when reheating rather than before freezing; cream and milk split in the freezer.
