    Is Broccoli Cheddar Soup Healthy

    Yes, this soup is really healthy for kids – especially kids that are extremely active. It’s full of healthy fats. When you are on the keto diet, you need to eat plenty of fat so that your body will burn fat for energy.

    When it comes to kiddos that aren’t on keto to lose weight, this recipe will help them eat more veggies. It’s amazing how much broccoli kids will eat when you let it swim in a rich cheese sauce.

    In fact, if you want to add some cauliflower florets to the soup, your kids probably won’t notice!

    Broccoli is a fantastic source of vitamin C and fiber – which is wonderful for gut health. All the dairy is a wonderful source of calcium and protein. This is a really healthy soup for the entire family.

    Cream cheese is the secret to this addicting soup. The cream cheese makes it extra rich and delicious. Soften it before you add it to the saucepan. It will help it mix in without lumps.

    If you want it to have a bolder flavor, then add more salt and paprika. Want to really make this soup incredible? Serve it in a homemade keto bread bowl.

    Kids and adults all love bread bowls!

    Want to really change up this recipe without much effort at all? Instead of shredded cheddar cheese, use shredded pepper jack cheese. This will give the soup a lot of bite and heat.

    I’m a huge fan of how the fresh onion tastes in this soup. If you don’t have time to chop up the onion, you can just use a few teaspoons of onion powder in its place. This is a good idea if you have kids that don’t like diced onion pieces in their soup.

    How To Store Broccoli Cheddar Soup

    This is a delicious soup to eat for your meal prep. When you refrigerate it, you might notice that the soup hardens a bit. This is because the cream cheese will solidify again.

    All you have to do is heat it back up on the stove (or microwave) and it will melt into a delicious bowl again.

    What To Eat With Soup

    This is a complete meal by itself. You could also serve it for lunch with some keto hot pockets. They are higher in protein and give your body that boost of energy.

    You can also serve this soup with some keto Italian breadsticks. They are the perfect thing to dip into the soup. Kids love to eat these breadsticks with the cheesy soup.
