Homemade Vegan "Cream" of Broccoli Soup

I felt like some homemade soup for dinner to warm me up from this snowy whether and I decided to make "cream" of broccoli. It turned out really well, and if anyone has a Vita-mix its super easy, but not mandatory. This soup is full of free vegetables and contains protein without any animal ingredients.

What you need:
3-4 cups Broccoli
2 cups soy milk
1/2 cup onion
vegetable bouillon cube
2-3 potatoes (depending how thick you want it)
1 cup water

What you do:

Peel potatoes and boil until cooked
Boil broccoli until cooked
Chop onion
Dissolve bouillon cube into water
Heat soy milk to a boil
Combine all ingredients in blender or Vita-mix and blend until almost smooth (if you don't have a blender you will need a handheld mixer to puree the ingredients)

Enjoy!

So ok... this soup may look like something a dog would bring up, but C'MON... its broccoli soup and broccoli is green. The canned stuff only has a creamy colour to it because its more like cream soup with some broccoli in it. My broccoli soup is the REAL deal.
