Allergen free Vegan Broccoli Cheese Soup

This soup is a mash up of my MIL broccoli soup and Cybele Pascal's  Broccoli and Cheddar Soup from her newest cookbook Allergy free and Easy Cooking. Her recipes are so well done, but don't always fit the bill for my family since she uses Corn and Coconut, both of which are no no's for us. However they are a great base-line to start from and then tweak to make things the way <in this case> my hubby loved from his childhood. My poor hubby probably misses "normal" food the most, but this got a thumbs up from even him, and our youngest  ate three bowls! This recipe makes enough for one meal at our house, so if you want leftovers just double.

Vegan Broccoli Cheese Soup 
You will need
1package  De Boles rice fettuccine (or any other long pasta you prefer)
3cups broccoli florets
3 tablespoons oil
1/8cup dried onion
3tbsp rice flour
4cups vegetable broth
1/4tsp white pepper
1/2tsp salt
pinch of nutmeg
2cups rice or other kind of allergen free milk, but you want one that doesn't have flavor or add sweetness.
1 1/2 cups shredded vegan Cheddar, if you can use something else go for it!If not and you haven't discovered Daiaya yet you really need to get some, by far the best cheese sub I have encountered.

Reconstitute the dried onion by just barely covering with water in a dish.
In medium pot cook noodles according to package direction, drain, rinse and set aside.
In a large pot heat oil and then add onions, stir and saute for about 1 to 2 min.
Add rice flour (think onion rue) and stir until the onion and flour are nicely browned.
Add the veggie broth one cup at a time, whisking to prevent lumps.
Whisk in your spices and let combine at a simmer for 10 min.
Meanwhile steam your broccoli for 5 min.
Add your rice milk to the pot and stir.
Blend your broth to smooth out the pieces of onion.
Pour back into pot and add the broccoli and noodles to the pot.
Stir in your cheese and let all simmer for five more min.


Enjoy!

I am thinking of doing a few new things here, first if you have an allergy free recipe that you want to share please let me know! Second, would an allergy free, budget, menu planner series be useful to anyone?
