INGREDIENTS
  • 4 cups Broccoli (cut into florets)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 3 1/2 cups Chicken broth (or vegetable broth, or bone broth)
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 3 cups Cheddar cheese (pre-shredded - see notes)
US Customary - Metric

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. More tips about this recipe in the post above!
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, saute garlic for one minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and chopped broccoli. Increase heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-20 minutes, until broccoli is tender.
  4. Add the shredded cheddar cheese gradually, stirring constantly, and continue to stir until melted. (Add 1/2 cup (64 g), simmer and stir until it melts fully, then repeat 1/2 cup (64 g) at a time until all the cheese is used up.) Make sure to keep it at a very low simmer and avoid high heat, to prevent seizing. Remove from heat immediately once all the cheese melts.
RECIPE NOTES
IMPORTANT: See my tips in the post above (before the recipe card) for best results when melting the cheese!
To make this low carb soup even healthier, try making it with grass-fed bone broth.
