After many tastings and try I think I finally nailed this keto broccoli cauliflower cheese soup. It was so good that my kids were asking for seconds and they don’t really like broccoli or cauliflower. Now you know that is a good soup if that happens. This recipe would even be good in my keto bread bowl that I made the other day for the perfect comfort food dish.
It takes about 20 minutes to prep, cook and serve this recipe making it easy for a busy night or when you want to use up the produce in the fridge.
Keto Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup
4 servings

1 cup heavy cream
4 tbsp butter (I like to use Kerrygold butter)
2 tbsp sour cream
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup shredded or grated cheddar cheese

Pepper to taste
Crumbled bacon (optional)
Directions
Cut cauliflower and broccoli into florets.

Add the butter and minced garlic to the pot. Stir together while breaking apart the cauliflower and broccoli florets.
Add heavy cream, salt and pepper to taste to pot and blend with a stick blender until smooth.
Add chicken broth and sour cream to pot and stir until blended.
Add the remaining broccoli florets and cook for about 7 minutes or until broccoli is tender making sure to leave the pieces together and not broken apart.
Add shredded or grated cheddar cheese to the soup mix and stir until melted. If you need to thicken it up you can add a little bit more cheese and stir.

If you have any leftovers you can store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

You could but it might not taste as fresh. Give it a try and let me know how it turned out.

Why don’t you provide the nutrition information for the recipe? Obviously it’s important if you are following diet like Keto.

Good soup!

I used frozen broccoli instead of fresh. Taste was not affected. It was delicious! Can you tell me how it can be keto with all the carbs in it?
