Creamy Broccoli Soup: A Delicious Low-Carb Twist

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.
