Equipment

  • 6-quart pot with lid (or larger)
  • Cutting board
  • Chef's knife
  • Stirring spoon
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups Yellow onion diced
  • 2 Tbs White wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbs White miso paste
  • 2 Tbs Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp Sea salt
  • 4 Tbs Arrowroot powder
  • 1 cup Nutritional yeast
  • 2 cups Unsweetened soy milk
  • 2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 4 cups Water
  • 4 cups Fresh broccoli cut into small florets

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
  • While onions cook, make seasoning mixture: Whisk together white wine vinegar, miso paste, Dijon mustard, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Add nutritional yeast and arrowroot powder; whisk to incorporate. Start with ¼ cup soy milk and whisk until completely smooth. Continue adding soy milk in small increments, whisking thoroughly between each addition, until all milk is incorporated into a smooth slurry.
  • Add diced potatoes to pot with onions. Pour in seasoning slurry and water. Bring mixture just to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Add broccoli florets to pot. Continue simmering for 20 minutes, or until both potatoes and broccoli are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Remove pot from heat and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. This rest time allows the soup to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld.
