Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup with Mustard and Nutritional Yeast
Total Time: 40 mins Hands-on Time: 15 mins Makes: 6 servings
This lighter take on the classic cheesy broccoli potato soup is just as soul-soothing as its rich predecessor. Nutritional yeast and nut milk replace part of the dairy, while a pungent mix of spices lends lively flavor.
