Cheesy Keto Ham Soup with Broccoli {keto/low carb}

Good-tasting keto substitute for traditional potato soup or brocolli cheese soup. i didn't like the carb load, so i replaced the 1/2 yellow onion with 1/2 cup chopped spring onions, halved the amount of broccoli, and reduced the cheddar cheese to 1 cup. To make it thicker, i reduced the heavy cream to 1 cup, increased the cream cheese to 2 Tbsp/1oz/28g (I only use philly or something organic- be careful of Kirkland, Member's Mark, Sam's Choice, Kroger, WinCo brands, etc. because they contain additional fillers to serve as emulsifiers and thickening agents to produce it more cheaply, such as guar gum, gum arabic, carob bean, and xanthan gum which makes the product double the carbs of Philly brand. Also... kirkland's does not even taste like cream cheese) and added 1/2 cup of cauliflower (which i then pureed). It's great to make a big batch of this soup and store in jars in the fridge for quick lunches or in the freezer for a busy dinner night.

Very filling, and tasty. But don't let it cool, as the soup will thicken.

Excellent!!!

Doubled the recipe. Didn’t add nutmeg. Diced up a turnip and added. Added extra cream cheese to thicken and make it creamy.

Great used bacon bits instead of bacon.

Sorry for the tostones...but this is a very good soup! Mmm, tasty...

Not sure why the recipe says it's for 7 servings, unless it's a very small starter course. I think it made more like 2 or 3 servings. Flavor was good, everyone liked it. I skipped the xanthan gum and the thickness was still good.

Whole family loved it. Even my picky kiddos. Will definitely make again.

Made it without any significant changes. It was great!

Should have made a double batch, as it went like hotcakes. Will definitely make again!

I would make this again wirhout the bacon or nutmeg as both were unnecessary for the recipe. It would have been better without these.

Made in crock pot to slow cook. Didn't add the broccoli because I thought I had some and it was too old to use. Added sour cream and chives on top. Excellent!!

We added cauliflower and carrots

I used frozen broccoli and added extra. I also added 4 small potatoes diced up and a whole 16oz package of Shredded cheese. I did not use a thickener and the soup was devine! The family loved it.

Absolutely delicious 😋 I used the ham I had put up that was leftover from Thanksgiving. I omitted the nutmeg because that didn't appeal to me. Nice, hearty soup for a cold sick day.

Great flavor, easy to make.

Thought this was really good. The whole family liked it. I used frozen broccoli. Didn't see the need for the nutmeg, just added salt and pepper. We wanted leftovers, so I doubled the recipe. Would definitely make this again.

I was out of cream cheese so I used sour cream. I also added Dijon mustard, smoked paprika and balsamic vinegar. I used extra sharp white cheddar as well. The results were delicious!

Kids loved it, great way to use a chunk of whole ham.
