The yuca gives this soup its creamy consistency, as well as makes it super filling. So simple to make! So incredibly delicious and satisfying!
Let’s Make Cream of Broccoli Soup!
*Full printer-friendly recipe below*
Ingredients:
-3/4 pound yuca/cassava (Can use fresh or frozen) If using fresh, it must first be peeled and cut into 3-4 pieces. Frozen yuca is already peeled and cut.

Buying, Storing, Peeling, and Cooking Yuca and
Yuca (Cassava) Nutrition Facts
-3/4 pound organic cauliflower – roughly chopped (can be fresh or frozen)
-3/4 pound organic broccoli (can be fresh or frozen)
-1 organic onion – chopped
-1 teaspoon Jada Spices Chicken Salt (Vegan bullion-like seasoning made of all natural spices – See description below.)
-4 cups filtered water (This is separate from the water used to boil the yuca.)
What is Chicken Salt?
Contrary to what its name suggests, Jada Spices Chicken Salt is a vegan, all purpose seasoning blend that resembles the taste of chicken bouillon – only it’s healthy! (Chicken bullion is pure crap!) It’s a widely popular seasoning in Australia. Jada Spices Chicken Salt is made of sea salt, spices (trust me – these are all natural, but aren’t listed to protect their unique recipe), turmeric (excellent to combat inflammation,) onion powder, garlic powder, and less than 1% calcium stearate (to prevent caking.) Jada Spices Chicken Salt is free of soy, gluten, msg, preservatives, and GMOs! Check it out below because you’re going to need this seasoning so you can throw out those bullion cubes forever!!!
Instructions:
-Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add peeled fresh or frozen yuca. Return to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until fork tender.
-Meanwhile, in a separate pot, boil 4 cups of filtered water. Add chopped onion and cauliflower, along with 1 teaspoon Jada Spices Chicken Salt and cook for 20 minutes.
-Once yuca is fork tender, drain water from yuca pot.
-Place cooked, drained yuca, along with contents of second pot, into a Vitamix or blender and combine until smooth. (An immersion blender may also be used.)
-Return blended soup to the pot and add broccoli. Cover and cook on medium heat for 5-8 minutes until broccoli softens. *Stir often with a spatula to ensure it doesn’t adhere to the bottom of the pot.
-Using a ladle, remove about half the soup contents and place back into Vitamix/blender. Combine until smooth. Place blended soup back into the pot and stir until well combined. This creates a creamy soup with some chunks of broccoli. If a fully creamy soup is preferred (no chunks,) cook broccoli along with cauliflower and onion in step 3.
-Serve immediately! Enjoy!
Note: My husband wants me to mention that while this recipe is delicious as a soup, he also enjoys putting leftovers on top of chicken and vegetable dishes as a sauce!
