Keto Broccoli Cheddar Soup
A creamy, low-carb, totally vegan twist on classic broccoli cheddar soup. It’s keto-approved, dairy-free, and made for those who want comfort without guilt.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets about 1 medium head
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
- ½ cup raw cashews soaked for 2+ hours or boiled 10 mins
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast the not-so-secret cheesy imposter
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp turmeric for color and sass
- ½ tsp salt or more if you’re salty
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for heat or extra flair
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until they gossip and get soft.
- Toss in broccoli florets. Stir them around like you’re mixing drama in a group chat. Cook for 4 minutes.
- Pour in almond milk and veggie broth. Bring it all to a simmer, then lower the heat like you’re ghosting someone.
- Let it simmer for 10 minutes, or until broccoli becomes fork-tender and emotionally vulnerable.
- Meanwhile, blend soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, mustard, turmeric, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Add everything (broccoli party and cashew mix) into a blender. Blend until silky smooth. Or go immersion style if you’re a modern woman.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like it spicy like your DMs.
