We’d like to share with you one of our favourite keto soups, the broccoli and cheese cream soup. It is extremely quick and easy to make, and the recipe can be easily modified to suit anyone’s taste – that is, if you like broccoli and cheese, of course. Broccoli has 4.4 g net carbs per 100 g and is an excellent source of Vitamin K.
If you don’t have comte cheese, you can substitute it for another medium hard cheese, such as cheddar, edam or gouda. Alternatively, you can just skip it and add more parmesan.
If you would like to increase the fat content, this is incredibly easy – you can add butter, ghee or coconut oil to the soup at step 4 (butter being our favourite for this soup).
If the soup turns out thick, you can add water to it until you reach the desired texture.
Let’s Ketofy It!
To soften the broccoli, steam them for around 5 minutes.
Afterwards, blend with sour cream, comte cheese, and parmesan for 2 minutes. Let it mix until you get a creamy and homogeneous mixture.
In a saucepan, combine the blended ingredients with chicken stock. Mix well with a spatula.
Bring to a simmer for 5 more minutes. Keep stirring the mixture so as not to get the cheese sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Transfer the soup in a bowl. You can add more shredded cheese on the surface. Best eaten hot.
