Serves 8
The secret ingredient in this soup is nutritional yeast. This health food store staple has a nutty, fermented flavor that works as a cheese booster in recipes, or can be used to replace cheese altogether in vegan dishes. Try adding 1 to 2 Tbs. nutritional yeast to cream sauces and cheese fillings.
2 bunches broccoli, trimmed and coarsely chopped (2½ lb.)
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1½ Tbs. nutritional yeast flakes
⅛ tsp. ground cumin
⅛ tsp. ground nutmeg
¼ cup fat-free half-and-half
½ cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1½ Tbs. nutritional yeast flakes
⅛ tsp. ground cumin
⅛ tsp. ground nutmeg
¼ cup fat-free half-and-half
½ cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese
2. Working in batches, purée soup in food processor until smooth. Return to saucepan. Stir in half-and-half, and heat over low heat until hot. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Sprinkle each serving with 1 Tbs. cheese.
