Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Soups make for fantastic keto lunches because they’re super low in carbohydrates but convenient for work or at home. This one is particularly delicious.
Method
Step 1. Stir the Keto-Fit bone broth powder through 250mL boiling water and stir to make stock. Set aside.
Step 2. Meanwhile, spray the base of a small saucepan with olive oil and heat over a medium-high heat. Cook the bacon for 1-2 minutes on each side, until cooked through, then place to one side and allow to cool before slicing into ‘croutons’.
Step 3. Reduce the heat to medium and sauté onion (approx. ¼ medium onion) and garlic in the same pan until softened—this should only take a minute or two. Add the broth/stock and broccoli florets (approx. ¼ cup chopped), increase heat, and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, for 4-5 minutes or until the broccoli is soft.
Step 4. Add the cream (2 tb), then use a stick blender to process the soup until smooth.
Step 5. Lastly, add the cheddar cheese (approx. ¼ cup)and stir continuously until melted through.
Step 6. To serve, pour into bowl or mug and top with bacon and chives.
