KETO BROCCOLI & CHEESE SOUP {LOW CARB}
After I had an appendectomy, curry soup was introduced by a friend of mine while I recovered. She had been so kind to share the recipe, which comprised cheese. Ever since that time, I have been adding potato and broccoli soup and a swiss cheese. It is a taste that is subtle, but I think that it adds better.
Homemade Broccoli & Cheese Soup is one of my favorites, however many recipes I found were too high, if exploring the info. I discovered several recipes so I started experimenting, Pinterest which were far Keto friendly.
