Dessert
2 Slices Bacon; Cooked and Crumbled (Optional)
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large pot, saute onion and garlic with butter over medium heat until onions are softened and translucent.
Add broth and broccoli to the pot. Cook broccoli until tender. Add salt, pepper, and desired seasoning.
Place cream cheese in a small bowl and heat in the microwave for ~30 seconds until soft and easily stirred.
Stir heavy whipping cream and cream cheese into soup; bring to a boil.
Turn off heat and quickly stir in cheddar cheese.
Stir in xanthan gum, if desired. Allow to thicken.
Serve hot with bacon crumbles (optional)
NOTES
This soup has a thinner, more broth-like consistency because it does not have a roux or any thickening agents. If you don’t add something like xanthan gum, it won’t be the thick soup you might be used to.
