Creamed Broccoli & Spinach Soup

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This Creamed Broccoli & Spinach Soup is easy to make and so flavorful! It’s also free of gluten, grains, & dairy; paleo & vegan friendly as well! 

Creamed Broccoli & Spinach Soup | Free of gluten, grains, & dairy | Vegan & Paleo FriendlySoup is a food I could eat all year long. Hot or cold, rain or shine. They’re comforting, hearty, and pretty easy to throw together. My favorite soups are chock-full of wholesome veggies, which makes them both healthy and satisfying.

I love using Taylor Farms products because they’re always so fresh and ready to eat right out of the package. Their line of organic vegetables, including broccoli, green beans, and sugar snap peas, come in microwaveable bags and are perfect for quick sides, veggie platters, or to add to recipes. The fact that they’re pre-washed and ready to use really cuts down on food prep and makes cooking a breeze!

Creamed Broccoli & Spinach Soup | Free of gluten, grains, & dairy | Vegan & Paleo FriendlyI used Taylor Farms Organic Broccoli Florets to make this creamy soup, along with onions, potatoes, garlic, and spinach. It’s very simple, but what really enhances the flavor is roasting the broccoli before adding it to the soup. Roasting adds a delicious depth of flavor as it brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables and also incorporates those yummy caramelized bits.

It’s one extra step, but well worth it, in my opinion!

Stir in some plain yogurt and a drizzle of olive oil or top with some homemade croutons, which I make by pan-frying bread cubes with a little butter, salt and pepper. The soup is wonderful alone, but would also be great with some warm, crusty bread or one of Taylor Farms salad kits!

Are you a soup person too? Let me know your favorites in the comments below! Enjoy!

    This soup looks amazing! I love all kinds of soup, and broccoli is one of my favorites. In looking over the ingredient list, I was so pleased that there is no cream listed, which means this soup is diet friendly too!
