I’m always looking for a low carb, keto-friendly meal. This soup is perfect for all my fellow cheese and keto lovers. It’s simple and delicious.
As I was cooking the soup, it was a gloomy, rainy day – naturally, I was craving a warm cozy soup for dinner. Other recipes call for flour and whole milk which are high in carbs and not gluten free.
It’s quite the process to find a good recipe for me. I need it to be low carb and gluten free. I’ve been gluten free for almost five years now and have it nailed down – but I’m still always searching for tasty low carb/keto options.
I started my low carb journey mid-2023 and it has made a world of difference for me. I feel better, my diabetes blood work is normal and as an added bonus, I’ve lost a little weight. It just works really well with my body!
After picking apart other recipes and made my own keto and gluten free broccoli cheese soup recipe. This keto broccoli cheese soup recipe will take you about 25 minutes to make. BONUS: it is kid approved!
I used my Caraway dutch oven to make the cheesy soup. I am absolutely obsessed with my Caraway cookware set. It’s non-toxic, nonstick and makes for easy clean up, too! Learn all about my obsession with Caraway in my recent blog post.
Here’s the ingredients you’ll need to make this creamy broccoli soup:
- 1.5 tablespoons of butter
- 1/2 chopped onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 cups of low sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 4 cups of finely chopped broccoli
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of pepper
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 4 cups of sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
How to make:
- In a pot, melt your butter and sauté your chopped onions and garlic until translucent.
- Next, add your chicken broth, heavy cream and broccoli. Then add you paprika, pepper and salt and bring it to a boil. Once it is at a light boil, add your cheddar cheese little batches at a time so it can start blending in to the soup.
- Simmer for about 20 minutes to thicken the soup up. Once the soup is nice and creamy, it is ready to serve!
Yes, it is as simple as that! I’m not a fancy recipe gal – I like easy and delicious. I work full time so I make sure my recipes are family friendly and under 30-ish minutes.
