KETO BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP RECIPE
To be honest, the people in the keto community often struggle to find good keto snacks or crowdpleasers. Most of us are following their usual keto meal plan, but you can always add something new and refreshing, especially during the fall/winter season when we need more vitamins and minerals than usual. Brocolli is an awesome veggie that needs to be included in your keto meal plan. It is very healthy and satisfies the keto nutrient levels. Broccoli is the main ingredient in this recipe, let's check the rest:
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1/ 8 Cup White Onion
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic, finely minced
- 2 Cups Chicken Broth
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 1 Cup Broccoli, chopped into bite size pieces
- 1 Tablespoon Cream Cheese
- 1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese; shredded
- 2 Slices Bacon; Cooked and Crumbled (Optional, if you want a stronger meaty taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, if you want thicker soup)
HOW TO PREPARE
Preheat a large pot and add butter together with onion and garlic. Cook on medium heat until the onions are softened. Then, add broth and broccoli to the pot. Cook as long as the broccoli becomes soft and tender. Meanwhile, you can add your favorite seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Cream cheese needs to be placed in a small bowl and heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
When the broccoli soup is close to its boiling point, add the cream cheese and whipping cream. Stir nice and strong until the substance blends well. Turn off heat and quickly stir in cheddar cheese. If you want the soup to be thicker, add xanthan gum (optional).
Now your soup is ready to be served. Serve it hot and add bacon (optional) or other seasonings on top (such as raw pepper or lemon juice).
