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!

Notes
This is a Snap Pea Sheep recipe
This requires some no-cheese sauce but you can instead blend 1/4 cup cashews with 1/2 cup water, 2 TBSP lemon juice, 2 TBSP Tahini, 1/2 TSP Dijon mustard to the broccoli and milk and blend. Same ingredients.
Substitute cauliflower for the broccoli to make cauliflower soup.
