Creamy Broccoli Soup

This soup is great.  It could be called Creamy X Soup, where X is sweet potato, butternut squash, carrot, cauliflower or just about any vegetable!

In a large soup pot, heat on medium until onions are translucent: 

2 T olive oil

1 onions, chopped

1 head of celery, chopped

1 garlic clove, smashed

Then add and bring to a boil: 

1 tsp salt

1 head of broccoli, chopped

3 potatoes, cubed

1 bay leaf

4 cups water 

Pinch nutmeg

Pinch smoked paprika

Simmer with the lid on for 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft.  Then, in batches, blend. Pour back into the pot and mix in:

1 cup almond milk

fresh ground pepper to taste

Serves 8.
