Another low carb soup option to try is Instant Pot Chicken Fajita Soup or this Easy Keto Chili Recipe .

As you can see, there are lots of tasty options for soup that are low carb.

How do you thicken this Low Carb Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe?

This recipe is already so very simple but here are a few more tips I do to make my life easier.

I use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop onions. If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them.

They are such a time saver.

I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.

This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.

Learn and  how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen!

What if I prefer Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup less chunky and a more smooth consistency? 

You can use an immersion blender or stick blender if you prefer the broccoli to be more blended. We love the pieces of broccoli but I know some people prefer it all blended together.

If you do not have one of these, try using a potato masher.  Either way you make this, it is the best comfort food!

If I am using the slow cooker, my favorite is the Ninja cooker. The nice thing about this is you can brown the meat in the same slow cooker for recipes that call for meat as an ingredient.

This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere.  I often use the slow cooker to take dishes to potluck events and this feature is amazing!

It’s a lot to take in but basically the ketogenic diet is a diet high in fat with healthy fats for weight loss. The diet calls for a lot of nut butters, peanut butter and low or no net carb snacks called fat bombs.

You will also want to keep things sugar free. Oils like coconut oil, olive oil and mct oil are used.

A lot of recipes call for cheese or cream cheese. Almond flour or pork rinds can be used for a coating or batter that fits into the ketogenic diet.

Once you get used to this diet, many report that it becomes a lifestyle and they really like it. As a result, many people report higher levels of energy and that they just feel better and have more regulated blood sugar.

Plus, weight loss is fairly easy while also filling full and satisfied. This is a key component as to why it works for so many.

If you want to lose weight, this is a great plan to try.  With so many low carb recipes,  it will be easy to stay on track with the ketogenic diet
