If you’re looking for a warm soup to cuddle up with this winter try this AIP Broccoli Cheese Soup. It’s cheesy and delicious even though it’s dairy free.
Can you eat cheese on AIP?
Nope. Dairy is considered a reintroduction. So you need to elimination it during the first phase of the autoimmune protocol. However, you won’t miss it with this recipe.
Is yeast OK on AIP diet?
Yes, nutritional yeast as well as dry active yeast (used to bake with like in my AIP Pizza) is allowed during the elimination phase. However, make sure to use non-fortified nutritional yeast. And always read ingredients. You never know what a company may try to add to a product that’s not AIP compliant.
How to make AIP Broccoli Cheese Soup
1. Add the butternut squash, bone broth, onion, garlic, ginger, and salt into the instant pot.
2. Close the instant pot. Set to pressure cook for 3 minutes. Once it’s finished cooking, wait 10 minutes then switch then switch to venting (quick release). Once the stopper has dropped, then remove the top.
3. Add the nutritional yeast, extra virgin olive oil and then puree using an immersion blender.
4. Add the broccoli, then turn the instant pot on sauté. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the broccoli is tender. Add the coconut milk the stir to combine then serve. Add lime juice to taste.

This was surprisingly good despite having no cheese in it! I made it on the stove and I added some tapioca starch to thicken it a little more, and instead of using canned coconut milk, I used powdered coconut milk. (Cans are so dang expensive! ) still turned out great!
Oh wow. I've never tried powdered coconut milk. Great idea. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
This soup is delicious! I had to leave out the garlic because I'm reactive to it. I bumped the coconut milk up a bit just to make it a bit thinner. I wasn't sure how much lime juice to put in. I put in 3 teaspoons...figured I could add more if needed. All in all, a great new addition to my recipe file for my AIP diet. Thank you so much!
The lime juice should really just be added to taste. I've updated the recipe to include that information and make it more clear.
And I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe. I hope it becomes a family favorite!
Yummy! And SUPER easy!! And needed some veggies after all the Christmas treats! Thanks!
Yeah! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
Hello,
when do I add the coconut milk?
I don’t have an instant pot so I’m making it the regular way in a pot. We’ll see how that works out ☺️
You add the coconut milk at the end as per the instructions. Good luck with making it on the stove top. Should be relatively straightforward. Hope it works for you.
