Broccoli cheese soup is a new favorite in the FatForWeightLoss Kitchen, and it’s surprisingly delicious. I never knew that Brocolli would actually taste so great in a soup until I jigged a few things around. This recipe is a delicious combination of your regular broccoli soup mixed with some crispy prosciutto that will light up your taste buds like never before.
Broccoli cheese soup is so easy to make as a ketogenic friendly recipe because its filled with fatty cheese and delicious cream. It’s a hearty soup that will not disappoint, suitable for the whole family.
Not only is green cruciferous vegetables an important part of a healthy diet, but broccoli also contains loads of magnesium which is vital on the ketogenic diet. Magnesium is important for muscles, the regeneration of ATP for energy, and pretty much everything you can think of throughout the body, magnesium is involved.
Aged cheddar cheese is the best addition to this recipe because it gives that bite throughout the cream that differentiates it from the other creamy ingredients. Proscuitto adds a whole other element to this broccoli and cheddar soup, which I think you’ll really love as well.
Now, if you don’t have an immersion blender, you can also do this in a nutribullet or any other blender in small batches. Make sure that your blender can hold hot liquids, otherwise you’ll have broccoli coated kitchen floors!
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did creating it.

Hi Aaron I’ve just bought your book ‘Easy Keto Meal Prep’ and looking forward to making this soup. The summary says makes 4 portions but instructions say to divide into 6 containers. I’m wondering should I be increasing the ingredients by 50%? Thanks
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Laura, I believe this should have been fixed in the updated printing. When did you purchase the book? (Should be 4 servings and 4 containers)
