  • ¾ cup non dairy milk
  • ¼ cup instant potato flakes
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ cup Cashew Parmesan or more to taste recipe link in comments

Topping

  • 1 sleeve Ritz crackers or similar, crushed
  • ¼ cup Cashew Parmesan

Instructions

Make the cream of potato soup

  • Get all your ingredients ready; this happens really fast. Melt your vegan butter in your pot on medium heat, and whisk in the flour- this will thicken fast, add your broth and whisk (this thickens really fast as well); add the rest of your ingredients and whisk until smooth. Once it's thick and creamy (which happens in about 30 seconds to 1 minute), it's ready, and you can set it aside. Add the vegan cheeses and the vegan sour cream to this and stir, then set it aside.

Cook your brocolli

  • You can do this in a microwave or on the stove.
    Microwave- place your florets in a steamer bowl with water and cook for about 6 minutes or until it's the perfect texture for you. You don't want it mushy, but you don't want it crunchy it won't cook much in the oven.
    Stove- add the broccoli florets to a saucepan and fill it with a little bit of water, place a lid over it, and cook until your desired texture.
  • Drain and set aside.

Make the topping

  • Take a small bowl and, combine the crackers and vegan cashew parmesan and, stir, set it aside.

Put it all together

  • Take a large bowl, combine the soup mixture, cooked rice, and cooked broccoli, and stir until well combined.
  • Add this mixture to an 8x8 pan and sprinkle with the topping.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until heated through.
