Creamy Potato and Broccoli Soup -- dairy and gluten free!

Creamy Potato and Broccoli Soup

This is a dairy and gluten (grain) free take on basic creamed soup.  I had potatoes and broccoli, but mushrooms, asparagus, or whatever vegetable is desired could be used instead.

Creamy Potato and Broccoli Soup
Makes about 8 servings

Start with some homemade broth or organic broth from the store.  Be sure it doesn't have anything in it but broth!  The chemicals in most commercial broths are not generally safe for gluten free and interstitial cystitis diets.

Place into a soup pot:

8 cups broth
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 pound broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

Cover the pot and bring it to a boil.  Simmer it for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

As the soup cooks, skim any floating bits or foam from the surface and discard.

In a blender container place:

1/4 cup slivered, blanched almonds
1 cup water
1/4 cup potato starch
1 tablespoon Adobo seasoning

Plus 2 cups of the cooked vegetables from the soup.  

Blend until the mixture is thoroughly combined, about a minute.  Add this blended mixture to the soup in the pot, stirring well to incorporate it into the broth.  Season with sea salt to taste.  Enjoy!

Enjoy!
