LOW-CARB CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP
While this recipe is high in fat it works great for people on the Atkins diet. Even after eating two bowls per day I was still in ketosis. Heavy cream has no carbs which is why this works so well for folks on low-carb diets. Also fat is more filling, leading you to eat less and feel more full. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator. It's even better the second day. However, I've found if it sits longer than that the broccoli can become too strong.

CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP BUT LOWER FAT!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality broccoli: Look for broccoli florets that are deep green and tightly packed. Avoid florets that are yellowing or have brown spots.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor. Cook the broccoli until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Use low-fat or nonfat milk: This will help to reduce the fat content of the soup without sacrificing flavor.
- Add nonfat Greek yogurt for a protein boost: This will also help to thicken the soup and give it a creamy texture.
- Season the soup to taste: Use salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little extra flavor.
- Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers: This will make a delicious and satisfying meal.
Conclusion:
Creamy, comforting, and packed with flavor, this Low-Fat Full-Flavor Cream of Broccoli Soup is a must-try for any soup lover. Made with fresh broccoli, low-fat or nonfat milk, and nonfat Greek yogurt, this soup is a healthier alternative to traditional cream-based soups.
