Ingredients You'll Need
You'll only need seven key ingredients that you most likely have at home right now! That's right - all you'll need is:
- Cheddar cheese: Adds a sharp, creamy taste.
- Chicken broth: Forms the soup's base.
- Cream cheese: Contributes to the soup's creamy texture.
- Broccoli: Offers a nutritious, fibrous element.
- Carrot: Introduces a hint of sweetness and color.
- Butter: Used for sautéing and adds richness.
- Garlic: Provides a foundational aromatic flavor.
- Turmeric and Paprika: Add depth, color, and slight warmth to the soup, rounding out its complex flavor profile.
How To Make Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup
- Heat the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven and sauté the carrot and broccoli florets for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Season with paprika and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add the garlic and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken stock and turmeric and bring to a gentle simmer.
- While the soup is simmering, gradually add the cheddar cheese and cream cheese while constantly stirring to melt the cheese into the soup.
Cooking Tip: Don't stop stirring while slowly adding the cheddar and cream cheese into the soup; this helps thicken the soup and gives it the best consistency.
- Once the cheese has melted and the soup has thickened, season to taste and portion into bowls.
Storage Instructions
- In the fridge: Store your leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 1 week.
- In the freezer: This soup is great for meal prepping when made in large batches. Store individual servings in freezer-safe sealable containers and freeze. They'll keep for up to 6 months. When ready to eat, let them thaw at room temperature or in the fridge overnight.
- To reheat: Reheat the thawed soup in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals until hot. You can also reheat the soup in a saucepan or pot over medium heat.
