Oooooh, this Low Carb, Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup! It’s just a classic, no frills, comforting bowl of cheesy goodness. I love that I can throw most of the ingredients in the Instant Pot, forget it and go about my business (kids’ homework), blend it, stir in the cheese and easily have a comforting, secretly healthy dinner that the whole family will eat with no complaints.
As prepared, each serving has about 8.5 net carbs. To lower then carb count even more, you can use less broccoli. I like to pack in as many green veggies as possible in my meals, but it would be just as tasty with half the broccoli if you need to adjust the recipe for your macros. Just don’t go crazy with the immersion blender so you still have some texture.
