Yes, coconut milk is a great dairy-free alternative that adds a slightly sweet, tropical flavor. Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture.
Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.

A regular blender or food processor works—blend in batches and be cautious with hot liquids. Let the soup cool slightly first.
Reduce or omit the leek and add more broccoli. You can also use a low-carb thickener like xanthan gum instead of relying on starchy vegetables.

Try grated cheese, croutons, a drizzle of olive oil, a dollop of sour cream, or crispy bacon bits for extra flavor and texture.
Absolutely! Frozen broccoli works well—just thaw and drain excess water before cooking to avoid a watery soup.
