Keto Broccoli Soup With Jalapeno

This keto broccoli soup with jalapeño recipe is smooth, creamy and full of flavor, cooked with warm spices and a bit of jalapeño that adds just the right amount of heat. It’s the kind of comfort food soup that works year-round – light yet filling, hearty and delicious.

Ingredients
• 3 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1-2 jalapeños (increase to two for more heat), chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
• 7 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon chili powder
• 1, 14-oz. can full-fat coconut milk (with an optional 1-2 tablespoons of coconut cream set aside for serving)
• 1 large handful of spinach
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
• 2-3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• Soup toppings like chopped jalapeño, fresh cilantro, red pepper flakes, or spicy roasted nuts/pepitas

Instructions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot set over medium heat. Cook the onion and jalapenos for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes somewhat translucent.
2. Stir in the garlic and cook another 30 seconds or until fragrant.
3. Add the broccoli florets and vegetable broth. Increase the heat to medium-high, cover, and bring the mixture to a boil. Immediately turn down the heat, stir in the spices and simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, covered. The broccoli is done when it is tender enough to pierce with a fork.
4. Carefully transfer (preferably ladling) half of the soup mixture into a high-powered blender, leaving the other half in the pot. Pour half the coconut cream into the blender and toss in half the spinach and the tablespoon of parsley. Secure the lid, but leave the opening in the lid propped open to vent the steam and prevent it from building up pressure (place a kitchen towel over the opening). Blend for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth.
5. Pour the first batch of blended soup into a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining soup, blending it with the rest of the coconut milk and spinach.
6. Pour both batches of blended soup back into the pot set over medium heat. Stir in the nutritional yeast, taste and adjust, adding more for cheesy flavor. Cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring often.
7. To serve, ladle the soup into bowls. Drizzle with coconut cream or olive oil and sprinkle soup toppings of choice.

Mexican Street Corn Salad

This Mexican street corn salad with chipotle dressing makes such a great BBQ side! It’s spicy, tangy, and super easy to make. Plus, it’s entirely vegan and gluten-free.

Ingredients

For the Street Corn Salad:
• 2 cups corn kernels either fresh or frozen
• 2 cups of Organic mixed greens
• 2 red bell peppers
• 5 green onions
• juice from one lime
• 1 large avocado
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika powder
• 1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon vegan chipotle sauce
• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro

For the vegan tofu “cheese”:
• 5 oz very firm tofu
• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste

Instructions
1. Dice the red bell pepper and the avocado. Cut the green onions into rings and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
2. Combine the corn, the red bell pepper, the green onions, and the avocado in a large bowl. If you want to make an authentic Mexican street corn salad, use grilled corn instead of boiled corn. You could also cook it in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. But for a quicker version, I’d recommend boiled corn. Either frozen or fresh.
3. Combine with vegan mayonnaise, the lime juice, the smoked paprika, the cumin, and the chipotle sauce and whisk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the corn salad.
4. Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
5. In a small bowl, crumble the firm tofu with your hands. Stir in the vegan mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper.
6. Sprinkle the crumbled tofu on top of the salad and serve immediately.
