Broccoli Cheese Soup

This soup is made with my no-cheese sauce and unsweetened coconut milk. Cooked potatoes and butternut squash are blended to make the soup creamy. the broccoli is barely blanched so it tastes very fresh. A sprinkle of Aleppo pepper is sprinkled on top for color and a little touch of heat. Creamy and delicious!
