Cream of Fresh Vegetable Soup (Vegan!)

Submitted by Enjolinfam

"Creamy soup that's still vegan! It can be a cream of broccoli, cream of asparagus, or peas depending on the vegetable you choose. Will try this later this week, but it sounds terrific and I'm sure I'll love it. One of my favorite meals is soup with bread and our yummy hummus. From The Best of Silver Hills Delicious Vegetarian Cuisine cookbook. Update: This is our new favorite vegan broccoli soup! I'm excited to try it with the asparagus next time. Enjoy!"

This soup was awesome!! I used broccoli too & made vegan fettucine with tofutti cream cheese as an accompaniment. Kids & adults had a hard time deciding which recipe they liked better, but all was eaten :o). Thanks for this healthy, delicious recipe Enjolinfam

Thank you so much! This was just great! I used broccoli and I wouldn't have known it was dairy free by the look and taste. I served it with french bread and it was wonderful dipped in the soup. I love a healthy recipe like this, especially when my husband and son enjoyed it too. The only thing I would change is to cut the salt back a bit, but it was just so awesome!
