If Your Kids Hate Broccoli, You’re Cooking It Wrong

Let’s face it, most kids nowadays aren’t the biggest fans of broccoli. My kids used to hate broccoli and would grimace whenever the word ‘broccoli ‘was mentioned in a conversation. They would even gag if I tried to force them to eat some broccoli during dinner. The broccoli keto cheese soup is a great way to introduce your kids to a heathy diet that is loaded with fiber.

When I introduced them to the keto broccoli soup, everything changed! My kids were finally consuming some broccoli thanks to the overwhelming amount of cheese that go into making this delish soup. The unpleasant taste of broccoli could be easily masked by the cheddar cheese in the soup. The broccoli florets won’t be recognizable anymore!

You don’t have to worry about your kids not eating broccoli, just make sure they’re not slurping their soup when guests are over Lol.

The Keto Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup Ingredients

It’s Very Easy to Make!

The Keto Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup is a unique soup. It allows to enjoy broccoli and cheese in generous amounts. — Its creamy, hot, and very tasty!

Butter: Add a stick of butter for that fantastic buttery flavor.
Onions and garlic: I like adding finely chopped garlic and onions to the soup for a delicious flavor.
Freshly grated carrots: I highly recommend buying large carrots and grating them yourself; avoid using pre-grated carrots. They don’t taste as good as fresh carrots.
Fresh broccoli florets: get a broccoli head and cut it into florets.
Black pepper, nutmeg, and maggie cube (or salt): Add to taste. Don’t overdo it because cheese is already a little salty.
Heavy cream: Heavy cream gives richness and creaminess to this soup.
Milk : Use any low carb milk of your choice or mix half & half ( you can use whole milk as well)
Freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese: shred your cheese at home because freshly-shredded cheese tastes and melts much better.
