Keto Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Panera’s Broccoli Cheddar Soup is comfort food at its best and tastes just like Panera. This soup is an easy dinner that hits the spot and quick enough for a weeknight.
Chopped broccoli, shredded vegetables and select seasonings simmered in a velvety smooth cheese sauce is how it’s described by the restaurant.
it’s creamy, has great texture, and is full of delicious flavor.
This soup is just so comforting and can make any winter night seem just a little warmer. It’s thick, velvety, and you can have it on the table in just about an hour.
Broth-based soups are great for those cold months, but I often find them to be a little unfulfilling.
Have this broccoli cheddar soup for lunch, and you’ll be full right until dinner!
The great thing about this soup is that it uses just a few ingredients, most of which, I’ll bet you have on hand.
Don’t most keto kitchens have onions, garlic, stock, cream, and butter?
I would even put money on you finding a bag of broccoli florets in the freezer! That just leaves the celery, and of course, the cheese.
You can make this extra creamy by using cream in place of milk that is traditionally for in the original recipe, and keep it vegetarian-friendly by using vegetable stock instead of chicken if that’s a concern for you.
We served our soup with our Cheddar Bay keto biscuits. Here’s the recipe:
