About this vegan vegetable soup

This vegan soup is made with broccoli, zucchini, and vegetables full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It’s satisfying, super nutritious, and easy to make. And it also has a secret and magical ingredient for extra nutrition: nutritional yeast.

I like to finish my soups with crunchy elements, a splash of brightness, and a drizzle of oil. I often use olive oil to chop nuts, almonds, or seeds for the crunchy bite. And for that unique pop of brightness, a squeeze of lemon or a dash of vinegar.

Why add vitamin B12 to a soup?

I love how I feel following a vegan diet. My body feels strong and full of energy, and everything works as it should. There are a million opinions about whether a diet free of animal products is correct or not and whether you are getting all the nutrients you need.

I’m not a doctor or anything like that, but I love reading and researching nutrition. I can honestly say that yes, as vegans, we need to supplement with vitamin B12, but this is also the case for many people that don’t follow a vegan diet.

As a general population, we face a vitamin B12 deficiency, an essential nutrient, so this soup is excellent for everyone: vegetarians, vegans, and non-vegans, if it has foods with b12.

Good sources of vitamin b12 foods for vegans and vegetarians

This broccoli and zucchini soup with foods rich in b12 is made with nutritional yeast, which can be used in many other recipes and adds a cheesy flavor to the dishes. If you can’t find it, don’t worry. The soup will still taste amazing. Still, try to find it if you want an extra boost of nutrition.

Other sources of vitamin b12 foods suitable for vegans are Marmite and yeast spreads, fortified soy, oat, hemp, and almond milk. Some plant-based meats and cereals are also fortified foods. On the other hand, tempeh is an excellent source of B12 foods, chlorella, and nori seaweed: sometimes, it can be detected in cremini mushrooms.

You could also find some good vitamin b12 supplements or b12 injections. What I feel is super important is that you talk to your doctor about the dose you need; you and he are the only ones who can decide the daily value (micrograms) of your vitamin b12 intake or foods with vitamin b12.
