Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegan butter
1 large yellow onion (chopped)
1 teaspoon caraway seeds (crushed)
2 large russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
4 cups vegetable broth
1 large bay leaf
2 cups broccoli florets (cut into bite sized-pieces)
2 cups cauliflower florets (cut into bite-sized pieces)

6 ounces vegan cheddar (shredded)

Instructions

1
Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onions and caraway seeds and saute until onions are tender.

Add the potatoes, vegetable broth, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Add the broccoli and cauliflower and continue to simmer, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the broccoli and cauliflower are tender. Discard the bay leaf.
4
Add the non-dairy milk and half of the cheese, and stir until the cheese has melted.
