  • 3 cups broccoli (cut into small bits)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum (optional (for a thick keto soup))
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  3. 3

    Add the broccoli in the butter and onion sauce and stir a few times.

    Pour in the 5 cups of broth and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
