Instructions

  1. Peel and prep all your veggies
  2. Heat a large saucepan over a medium flame and add the butter and oil until the butter is melted
  3. Add the onion, celery and carrot and garlic and cook, stirring from time to time, for a few minutes until just starting to caramelise
  4. Add the broccoli then the flour and stir to coat the veggies
  5. Add the vegetable stock and white wine then stir in the miso paste, nutritional yeast and herbs
  6. Put a lid on the pan and gently bubble for 20-25 minutes until the broccoli is softened. Stir once or twice during this cooking time
  7. Add the cream then use and immersion blender or stand to puree the soup. If using a stand blender you will probably need to do this in a couple of batches
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste
