Keto Broccoli and Cheddar Soup

laura
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • ● 5 tbsp Butter unsalted divided
  • ● 1 c Chopped onion
  • ● 1 tsp Xanthan gum
  • ● 2 c Heavy whipping cream
  • ● 2 c Chicken bone broth
  • ● 3 c Chopped cooked broccoli
  • ● Pinch of nutmeg
  • ● 8 oz Shredded cheddar cheese
  • ● Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt 1 tbsp of unsalted butter.
  • Add the onions, and saute for 2-3 minutes until they begin to become tender. Remove the cooked onions, and reserve them for later.
  • Lower the heat to medium, and melt 4 tbsp of unsalted butter in the pot.
  • Whisk 1 tsp of xanthan gum in with the butter, and cook stirring continuously for another 30 seconds.
  • Slowly whisk in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, a little at a time. You will notice that the cream begins to thicken quickly, this will get thinned out when the broth is added.
  • Mix in the 2 cups of bone broth. If your mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add in more broth to thin it out.
  • Add in the chopped cooked broccoli.
  • Stir in a pinch of nutmeg, and 8 oz of shredded cheddar cheese until dissolved.
  • Reduce the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes. If your soup is too thin, you can add a tiny bit of xanthan gum, but add it just a pinch at a time, a little goes a long way.
