How many carbs are in broccoli cheddar soup?
My favorite restaurant broccoli and cheese soup is from Panera bread.
However, there are about 17 g of carbs in one serving at the restaurant.
For this recipe, we cut the carb count down to only 6 g. And, if you like creamy, cheesy soups, try our Roasted Poblano Cheddar Soup.
How do I make broccoli cheddar soup without milk?
Instead of milk, which has lots of carbs, we used half and half with chicken broth for this recipe. You can also made broccoli cheddar soup with heavy cream and almond milk if that’s what you have on hand.
This easy recipe is inspired by Simply Recipes, but without the flour and milk and by adding a bit extra broccoli florets.
