Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Soup

A lot of people we meet don’t like broccoli very much. But parents learned years ago to add cheese to everything to make kids like vegetables. So I feel that’s how the birth of broccoli cheddar soup came about. Needless to say, this is a soup that a vegan person doesn’t have to give up on, rather the vegan version is pretty easy and just as good! I hope you enjoy this vegan version!
