Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbs Earth Balance Butter
  • 2 Tbs Refined Coconut Oil
  • 6 Green Onions, tops only
  • 1/4 cup White Rice Flour

  • 3 cups Vegan Cheese I use Good Planet Cheddar shreds

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter and oil in a pot over medium heat.
  • Add rice flour, forming a roux. This is the base of your soup and acts also as a thickener. Let cook for one minute stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning.
  • Slowly pour the Oat Whole Milk, stir and then add other non-dairy milk of choice, stir.
  • Add, green onion tops, nutmeg, steamed broccoli and stir until mixed well.
  • Add salt and pepper to your liking.
  • Bring soup up to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for 15 mintues or until broccoli is soft.
  • Add vegan cheese to the soup and stir. Most vegan cheeses will not melt easily.
  • Use an immersion blender or scoop out soup and put into blender to puree soup into rich creamy goodness.
  • Return to pot, taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve with a side of bread rolls or in a soup bowl and topped with a little extra cheese.
