Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup
Description
This Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup features small broccoli pieces cooked with butter, diced onion, and celery until soft and fragrant. Chicken broth and heavy cream create a rich base, while shredded cheddar cheese melts in gradually to infuse the soup with cheesy depth. Xanthan gum is stirred in to thicken the broth into a silky consistency.
The soup is cooked over medium heat, first sautéing vegetables, then simmering with liquids and cheese. The final result is a comforting soup with tender broccoli and a velvety cheese sauce.
Serve warm as a filling meal substitute or starter. The combination of flavors and textures balances freshness from the broccoli with creamy, cheesy richness.
Leftover soup keeps up to five days refrigerated in an airtight container. When reheating, add extra chicken broth to adjust thickness as it tends to thicken further when cooled.
