Keto Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup Recipe - Low-Carb, Creamy & Delicious (2024)

This creamy broccoli cheese soup recipe is a comforting, cheesy, and filling dish full of delicious low-carb, keto-friendly nutrition to enjoy all year round.

The secret to this cheddar cheese soup is roasting the broccoli, which gives a rich caramelized flavor, adding depth and character to the dish.

You can forgo the roasting, but in my opinion, the extra time is worth the added flavor.
