1 cup chopped sweet or yellow onion
¾ -1 teaspoon sea salt , optional (see note)
Drizzle of oil or broth to sauté
3 cups chopped broccoli
1 cup chopped carrots
2 cups dairy free milk of choice , the creamier the milk the creamier the soup will be
1-2 cups veggie broth , low sodium if needed (start with 1 and add more at the end to get the consistency you prefer
1 cup dairy free cheese sauce , homemade or store bought
1 cup dairy free shredded cheddar cheese , optional for extra cheesy flavor (see note)
¼ teaspoon pepper

Sauté the onions and salt (if using) with oil or broth until soft. About 3-5 minutes.
Add the broccoli and carrots and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the broth and milk, cover and simmer until the carrots and broccoli are soft. About 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the cheese sauce. Once mixed in well, turn off heat.
Using an immersion blender, puree soup to desired texture. You can also put into a blender, being careful not to burn yourself because it is hot.
Stir in the shredded cheese if using.
Serve with toppings of choice!

The salt will depend on the cheese you are using, I suggest adding it at the end if needed.
If you want to just use cheese sauce and not shredded cheese, then use 2 cups. You can alternatively just use 2 cups shredded cheese.
