This keto broccoli cheese soup is perfect for any meal! It’s super creamy and the sharp cheddar goes so well with the broccoli.
When I was little growing up in the states, there are a few American / Western soups that were my favorites and these included Clam Chowder, Corn Chowder, and Broccoli Cheese Soup. I love how these soups were all creamy and soup-er (haha, get it) tasty.
Broccoli Health Benefits
By the way, Broccoli is one of the healthiest veggies out there! Did you know that just 100g of broccoli will give you over 150% of your recommended daily intake of Vitamin C!
Besides that, it is also high in vitamin A, iron, vitamin K, B-complex vitamins, zinc, phosphorus and phyto-nutrients, and other healthy benefits!
Is broccoli and cheese soup keto?
That really highly depends on the recipe you are using. Often times broccoli and cheese soup will use flour or other ingredients higher in carbohydrates which will make the soup not keto or low carb.
This broccoli and cheese soup IS keto. So if you follow this recipe in order to cook some delicious broccoli and cheese soup, you should be within limits.
This recipe will cook about 8 servings, and if you divide the entire soup up by 8 you will be at 8g of carbs per serving.
