Instructions
In a saucepan combine the potatoes, carrots, whole garlic cloves, and almond milk. Bring to a boil and gently boil until potatoes are soft and easily break apart with fork. About 20 minutes.
In a separate pan steam broccoli florets until slightly tender.
Transfer potato mixture to a blender and add nutritional yeast and remaining seasonings. Blend until very smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking and add half of the steamed broccoli. Blend for a few seconds longer.
Return cheese soup to stovetop and add remaining broccoli. Heat until warmed through and serve immediately.
Notes
You can add additional milk after blending and returning to stovetop if it's too thick. Refrigerated leftovers will thicken considerably. Simply add a splash of almond milk and reheat to return to a thinner soup consistency.
