Tips:
- This recipe makes enough soup for about three bowls, so if you’re feeding a large family, consider doubling it.
- Xantham gum is a great way to thicken low carb soups and sauces. You can skip it, but a very small amount makes the broth super-rich, creamy and gives it a thicker texture.
We LOVED this cheesy soup!
I made this Keto Broccoli Cheddar soup for a quick lunch recently, and it has great flavor and texture. In fact, it was gone in just a few minutes (next time I’m making a larger batch).
Add this one to your meal rotation!
If this is the only thing for dinner, I would suggest dividing it in 2 servings (just change the math of macros) and add 1 bacon. It is surprisingly, quite filling! 🙂 I also added some Braggs seasoning.
YUM! Thanks for the suggestions!
omg yes..def need to make this soon!
seems healthier than Panera’s version. 🙂
Yay! Let us know how you like it!
Made this tonight for dinner. Really easy to make and super yummy! I think it’s comparable, if not better than Panera’s broccoli cheddar soup. Thanks for the recipe! 🥦🧀
Wow! Thanks so much for the compliment! I’m glad you loved it, Suzanne!
Absolutely loved this recipe. This recipe does not make you feel like you are dieting. It is restaurant quality. I doubled it so I could have enough for lunch for a couple of days. Best decision because it was delicious even after being reheated. This will be on our regular dinner rotation.
That’s wonderful to hear, Christine! Such a great idea to double the recipe for lunch leftovers! Thanks a TON for letting us know how much you have enjoyed the soup!
