Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe

Dice the onion, carrots, and celery, and mince the garlic. In a large pot set over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until they're brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side.

Remove the cooked bacon from the pot and set it aside, leaving the rendered bacon grease behind. Add the diced onion, chopped carrots, chopped celery, and minced garlic to the pot.

Let the vegetables cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're tender. Add the chopped broccoli florets, bone broth, heavy whipping cream, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for another 10 minutes.

Slowly stir in the sharp cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt into the soup until it's smooth and fully incorporated. Continue to cook for 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld.

While the soup simmers, roughly chop the reserved crispy bacon strips. Divide the soup into 4 servings and garnish each bowl with the bacon bits and any extra cheese you like.
