How to make keto broccoli cheese soup?

Wash the broccoli head and chop into small bite-sized pieces. Chop the stems also separately. I’m not throwing the stems away. Chop them roughly.

Heat butter in a saucepan or frying pan. Add chopped onion, garlic and saute till translucent. Now add chopped stems and half of the chopped florets to the pan.

Add fresh thyme sprigs and basil leaves along with salt pepper cayenne pepper and paprika. Here I have added fresh thyme and dried basil leaves. You can add any other flavors of your choice like oregano or rosemary etc.

Saute on low flame for 2 minutes. Now add 1 cup water and let it simmer for 5 minutes or till stems are cooked soft.

Then remove from pan and pour into a mixing jar to blend. Here you can also use a hand blender to blend the mixture to puree. Blend it to a smooth puree.

In the meantime, heat some more butter in the pan. Throw in the rest of the florets and give it a nice stir. Now cover it with a lid and leave it untouched for a minimum of 2 minutes to get broccoli florets charred. Then remove the lid and stir it nicely.

Then pour in the broccoli puree through a sieve for that smooth consistency. Add little water if the mixture is too thick.

Keep flame on low. Now add fresh cream and grated cheddar cheese to the soup. Stir it nicely. Simmer for 5 minutes or till it’s reached the desired consistency.

Garnish with some broccoli florets and some more grated cheddar on top of it.

Other Variations to Creamy Broccoli Soup

If you don’t want to add more cheese to the soup, then also you can make this creamy rich soup easily. Replace butter with olive oil.

In this case, while sauteing broccoli with onion and garlic, add 2 tbsp flour to it. You may add refined flour or even whole wheat flour to it. Saute for 2 minutes. Now add a cup of full cream milk to the pan. Keep stirring so that there will be no lumps.

Then blend the same to smooth puree. Now saute some more florets in some olive oil. When broccoli cooked 50 %, add the puree and simmer for 5 minutes more. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
