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!
