My Favourite 'lots of veg' Kid Friendly Soup

This broccoli cauliflower soup is a creamy, comforting dish that's quick and healthy. It combines tender vegetables, beans for added protein, and a mild cheese flavour. You can make it smooth or chunky, and adjust seasonings to your taste. For a dairy-free version, swap milk with plant-based alternatives and skip the cheese. It's a versatile recipe that can be customized with fresh herbs or spices. Leftovers taste even better, making it perfect for meal prep. 

Here's a quick version of the recipe for a broccoli cauliflower soup:

Ingredients:

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 can white beans, drained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup milk or (cream if your like meeeee.)
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

    1. Sauté the onion: In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
    2. Add vegetables: Stir in the broccoli and cauliflower florets, cooking for another 3 minutes to allow the flavours to combine.
    3. Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
    4. Blend: Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth.
    5. Add milk and cheese: Return the soup to the pot. Stir in the milk (or dairy-free alternative) and grated cheese if using. Heat through, stirring until the cheese has melted.
    6. Season: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot, and enjoy!
