Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz broccoli florets
  • 8 oz white sharp cheddar cheese
  • 16 oz broth
  • 6 oz cream cheese
  • 4 tbs butter
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 to 2 tsp pink salt to taste
  • 1 tbs Frank’s hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • Heat broth first in a large soup pan over medium heat.
  • Add cream cheese and butter to the broth.
  • Cut the cream cheese and butter into small pieces and then whisk as the ingredients become soft.
  • Mix it until all the cream cheese and butter disappear into the broth mixture. This will take a few minutes.
  • Add xanthan gum and stir until it is fully incorporated. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Steam the broccoli in the microwave for 3 1/2 minutes in a bowl with a tablespoon of water to get the broccoli soft.
  • Add the steamed broccoli to the soup mixture and stir until it's well combined.
  • Allow to cool slightly.  The soup thickens as it cools.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
  • Optional: serve in a keto bread bowl!
