Roasted broccoli soup delivers bold, garlicky, roasted-vegetable flavor and is thickened with white beans for a dairy-free boost of protein. With just five simple ingredients and under 40 minutes of active cooking, this vegan soup is an easy weeknight favorite.

Roasting vegetables transforms their flavor—bringing out sweetness, depth, and caramelized notes. If you haven’t tried roasting broccoli before making soup, you’ll find it adds a whole new dimension to the dish. This recipe uses the whole broccoli, including the stems, so there’s less waste and more texture and nutrition.

Ingredients for Roasted Broccoli Soup

• Broccoli (florets and stems)
• Onion
• White beans (cannellini)
• Garlic
• Vegetable stock
• Olive oil, sea salt and pepper (to taste)

How to Make Roasted Broccoli Soup

Begin by trimming and chopping the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. The stalks are perfectly edible: trim off the bottom inch, peel the tough outer layer with a vegetable peeler, then chop the tender interior into pieces. Using the stems reduces waste and adds extra body to the soup.

Place the chopped broccoli and quartered onion in a large bowl. Add olive oil, crushed garlic, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything to coat the vegetables evenly.

Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet, leaving space between pieces so they roast rather than steam. Roast at 450°F (230°C) for about 20 minutes, until the broccoli is nicely browned and fragrant.

When the vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a large soup pot. Add drained white beans and vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors combine.

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot until it reaches your preferred consistency. For a completely smooth soup, blend until silky; for a chunkier texture, pulse briefly. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup in batches in a countertop blender.
