Vegan Broccoli Potato ‘Cheddar’ Soup

While it's sad to say goodbye to the warmer weather, we're looking forward to all the delicious fall foods to make this season. Kick-off autumn with soul-comforting, Vegan Broccoli ‘Cheddar’ Soup. Broccoli and cheese are one of those combos that are perfect together, which is why broccoli cheese soup is such a satisfying dish.

Fortunately, we’re living in a time where practically anything can be veganised, including cheese, so no one has to miss out on their favorite cheesy foods – including a dairy-free "cheddar "soup! I love this recipe because it’s so easy to make, tasty, and decidedly healthier, and more nutritious than the non-vegan version. Give this recipe a try and enjoy!
