I am a HUGE soup addict. My soup season is year-round, but it is that time of year where everyone else starts craving cozy soups! Typically, I steer clear of creamy soups because they tend to be pretty calorically dense, but this vegan broccoli soup is creamy and low-calorie. The addition of the almond milk and the oats make this soup thick and satisfying.
