Keto-Friendly Broccoli and Cheddar Soup Ingredients:

• 4 cups broccoli florets

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1 small onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional toppings: crispy bacon bits, additional shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives

Directions:

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

3. Add the broccoli florets to the pot and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli starts to soften.

4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.

5. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Be careful when blending hot liquids and follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific blender.

6. Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream.

7. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese to the pot, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.

8. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.

9. Continue to heat the soup over low heat until it is heated through.

10. Serve the Keto-Friendly Broccoli and Cheddar Soup hot. If desired, garnish with crispy bacon bits, additional shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives for added flavor and texture.
