Steps

1. In a large pot, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
2. Add the broccoli florets to the pot and stir to coat them with the onion and garlic mixture. Sauté for a few minutes until the broccoli starts to soften slightly.
3. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
4. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender, and blend until smooth and creamy. If using a blender, be sure to vent the lid to allow steam to escape.
5. Return the blended soup to the pot (if necessary) and stir in the heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk. Heat the soup gently over low heat until warmed through.
6. Season the Keto Creamy Broccoli Soup with dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasonings as needed.
7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your desired toppings, such as grated cheese, crispy bacon bits, or chopped fresh herbs.
8. Serve the Keto Creamy Broccoli Soup hot and enjoy its comforting and creamy goodness.
