Creamy Broccoli Soup: A Delicious Low-Carb Twist
  • Prep Time
    15 mins
  • Cook Time
    4 hrs 16 mins
  • Total Time
    4 hrs 31 mins

Ingredients

  • Two cans of flavorful chicken broth, each weighing 14 ounces
  • An 8-ounce packet of smooth cream cheese
  • A generous cup of tangy shredded Cheddar cheese
  • A quarter cup of rich, creamy butter
  • A spoon of finely minced onion flakes for added depth
  • A pint of luxurious heavy whipping cream
  • A 10-ounce can of tender chicken chunks, or adjust to your liking
  • Three heads of fresh broccoli, carefully broken into florets

Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat, mix together chicken broth, cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, butter, and onion flakes until blended and creamy, stirring for around 3 to 5 minutes. Introduce heavy cream and chicken into the mix, allowing it to gently simmer.

Step 2

For the broccoli, set up a steamer insert in a saucepan with water just below the steamer. Bring the water to a boil and steam the broccoli with the lid on until it reaches a tender state, typically 4 to 5 minutes. Once done, transfer the broccoli to a colander to let any excess moisture drain.

Step 3

Next, combine the chicken broth mixture with the broccoli in a slow cooker. Let the flavors meld together by cooking on Low for approximately 4 hours. This slow cooking process will enhance the dish's overall taste and texture.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. To keep your creamy broccoli soup fresh and delicious, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help maintain its flavor and prevent it from absorbing other odors in the fridge.
  2. 2. If you have leftover soup, consider portioning it into individual containers before storing. This way, you can easily grab a single serving when you're ready to enjoy it without having to reheat the entire batch.
