On a cold day, there is nothing more delicious and comforting than a HOT bowl of soup–and when it’s cheesy? Even better!  I’ve tweaked a classic Broccoli Cheddar soup recipe to make it super keto-friendly so that you stay in fat-burning ketosis while enjoying this classic comfort food, keto broccoli cheddar soup!

For this recipe, I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh.  It’s easy to have on hand in the freezer and it tends to fall apart in the soup anyway–feel free to use fresh if you want!  I also make a big batch in advance so we can have soup for now and later.  It’s so easy to ladle in freezer Ziploc bags for a quick weeknight dinner.  Just defrost and simmer on the stove!

Keto Broccoli Cheddar Soup

There is nothing like a hot bowl of soup on a cold day and this Keto Broccoli Cheddar Soup is so good, you'd think it wasn't keto! Cheesy-goodness, chock full of broccoli, and perfectly keto to fuel your fat loss!

I like to make this batch of soup for multiple servings so I can freeze some in ziploc bags for easy reheat dinners when I don't feel like cooking.
