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.
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.
