Creamy Keto Soup
This creamy keto soup is a comforting, low-carb meal packed with flavor and ready in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 small onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional:
- Add 1 cup of cooked shredded chicken or crumbled bacon for extra protein.
Instructions
Sauté the aromatics
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the broccoli and broth
- Stir in the broccoli florets and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Blend until smooth
- Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it’s creamy and smooth. If you’re using a regular blender, work in batches and be cautious with the hot liquid.
Add the cream and cheese
- Return the blended soup to low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and enjoy
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes, like extra shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, or a drizzle of cream. Serve hot and enjoy!
