Broccoli Cheese Soup
This broccoli cheese soup has the comforting flavors you love, without the flour, butter, and heavy cream. Instead, it gets its creaminess from cauliflower and almond milk, which go almost unnoticed once everything is blended together and the cheese is added. When you use an immersion blender, this is a fast one-pot recipe that packs 17 grams of protein per serving.
