ChefXi OfficialRich, velvety, and loaded with broccoli and sharp cheddar. This comforting soup has only 6g net carbs per bowl.
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes.
Add broccoli and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to partially blend — leave some chunks for texture.
Blend about half for a creamy-chunky balance.
Stir in heavy cream and bring back to a gentle simmer.
Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese until completely melted and smooth.
Season with salt and pepper. Serve in bowls with extra cheese on top.
Use sharp cheddar — it melts smoother and has more flavor than mild.
