Creamy Broccoli Soup – Comfort Without the Crash

This soup is warm, rich, and soothing—but doesn’t derail your blood sugar like most creamy soups. Perfect for a metabolic reset.

Why This Works

• 🧠 Warm fat signals satiety faster—calms cortisol and ghrelin (craving hormones).
• 🥦 Broccoli fiber slows carb absorption and feeds gut stability.
• 🧅 Onion + cream + broth: the holy trinity of low-carb flavor memory.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 1 lb fresh or frozen broccoli florets
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 6 tbsp cream cheese
• 1 cup milk (or keto alternative)
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground red pepper
• Chopped green onions (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add onions and cook 4 minutes until translucent.
2. Add broccoli and broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered 10 minutes until tender.
3. Blend the mixture until smooth. Return to saucepan and reheat.
4. Stir in cream cheese until melted. Add milk, salt, red pepper. Cook 2 minutes more.
5. Garnish with green onions and serve.

Storage & Science Notes

• Store in fridge up to 5 days. Freezes up to 1 month.
• Science Fact: Broccoli's sulforaphane remains stable through gentle boiling and blending—linked to insulin sensitivity support.
