Healthy Vegan Broccoli & Basil Soup

This Healthy Vegan Broccoli & Basil Soup is a perfect recipe for a cold and rainy spring day! This vibrant soup uses only a few ingredients, takes about 20 minutes to make, and tastes surprisingly rich and nourishing for something so light and simple. The fresh ginger, added at the end of cooking, gives a warming kick, while fresh lime juice adds brightness to the dish. This soup will warm and refresh you on a cold spring day!

Unlike most traditional broccoli soups that call for flour, cream, or milk, I opted out of using them. Nevertheless, this lightened-up version is just as creamy. Plus, it makes the soup healthier, dairy-free, and gluten-free too.
