Why This Soup is a Keto Superstar
- Low-carb goodness: Broccoli and leeks are naturally low in carbohydrates, making this soup a perfect fit for your keto lifestyle.
- Nutrient powerhouse: Both broccoli and leeks are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
- Electrolyte boost: This soup is an excellent source of potassium and sodium, essential electrolytes often depleted on a keto diet.
- Creamy texture without the carbs: We use heavy cream to achieve a rich and satisfying texture without compromising your carb count.
Ingredients
- 1 Leek (white part only)
- 1 clove Garlic (roughly chopped)
- 3 ounces Butter (salted)
- 1 pound Broccoli (about two medium heads)
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- 2 ½ cups Chicken Stock
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (chopped)
How To Make Keto Broccoli & Leek Soup
- Sauté: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the chopped leek and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent.
- Add the broccoli: Chop the broccoli into florets and add them to the saucepan. Pour in the chicken stock, ensuring the broccoli is mostly covered.
- Simmer to perfection: Simmer for about 8 minutes or until the broccoli is tender and easily pierced with a fork. Be careful not to overcook, as this can affect the color and flavor of the soup.
- Blend until smooth: Using an immersion blender (stick blender), carefully blend the soup until it’s perfectly creamy and smooth.
- Season and serve: Season with salt and pepper. Add a dash of heavy cream and garnish with chopped parsley.
Tip: Using a stick blender is much safer and easier than a traditional blender when pureeing hot soup.
How To Store Soup
Store soup in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

WOW best soup I’ve had in ages. So full of flavour and easy to make. Will be making this again
So easy to make and absolutely delicious. It’s that easy to make, that I made it this morning before school run and work, whilst making Breakfasts, assembling packed lunches, feeding the cat and other morning activities in our house. This was my packed lunch today. Glad I liked it because I’ve got it tomorrow; Wednesday and Thursday too
