Low-Carb Broccoli Cream Soup

Ingredients

• 2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup butter
• 1 tablespoon minced onion flakes
• 1 pint heavy whipping cream
• 1 (10 ounce) can chicken chunks, or more to taste
• 3 heads broccoli, broken into florets

Step 1

Combin the chicken broth, cream cheese, Cheddar, butter, and onion flakes in a large pot over medium heat. Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Then, pour in the heavy cream and add the chicken. Let it come to a gentle simmer.

Step 2

Set up a steamer by placing a steamer basket or insert into a saucepan filled with a little water—just enough so it doesn’t touch the basket. Bring the water to a boil, add the broccoli, cover, and steam it until it’s tender, around 4 to 5 minutes. Once it’s done, transfer the broccoli to a colander to drain any extra moisture.

Step 3

Pour the chicken broth mixture into your slow cooker, then add the steamed broccoli. Set the slow cooker to low and let it cook for about 4 hours, allowing all the flavors to meld together beautifully. When it’s ready, give it a good stir and enjoy!
