Achieving the perfect consistency in your Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup can sometimes be a challenge, especially when avoiding carb-heavy thickeners. Here are a few keto friendly ways to make your soup thicker;
- Cream; These natural thickeners work wonders. If your soup seems thin try adding cheese or a touch more heavy cream.
- Puree Some of the Soup; Use an immersion blender to puree a portion of the soup. This will give it a consistency without needing any ingredients.
- Xanthan Gum; A little bit of xanthan gum can go a way, in thickening your soup. Sprinkle in a quarter teaspoon while stirring continuously to prevent clumps from forming.
