In a medium or large pot, begin heating vegan butter over medium heat. Add in diced onion and sauté until softened and slightly browned (5-7 minutes).
Add in your minced garlic, carrots, and salt and spices. Cook for few minutes.
Pour in your orzo and vegetable broth. Add in the dijon mustard. Bring to a boil then lower heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add in the milk and broccoli florets. Stir until combined. Cover for another 4-5 minutes until broccoli is cooked through.
Stir in the vegan cheddar shreds and parm until it is melty and creamy.
Enjoy right away. Feel free to sprinkle some freshly ground pepper on top and/or nutritional yeast.
