Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup

Step 1

Using a large pot over medium-high heat, saute the onion and garlic with the butter. Saute until fragrant.

Step 2

Add the broccoli florets, chicken broth, and heavy cream to the pot. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the pot from the heat, and begin adding in the shredded cheese 1 cup at a time. Stir in each cup of cheese prior to adding the next cup. This helps to ensure that the soup isn't clumpy.

Step 5

Optional: To thicken the soup, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum in the pot.

Step 6

Serve in small bowls, and top with a little shredded cheese, and serve immediately!
