One brisk autumn afternoon, Maria found herself rummaging through her refrigerator, searching for inspiration for dinner. As she peered into the vegetable crisper, she noticed an abundance of fresh broccoli crowns, leftover from her recent trip to the farmer’s market. Determined not to let them go to waste, Maria decided to whip up a hearty and comforting soup: Completely Keto Broccoli Soup.
With a smile on her face and a twinkle of creativity in her eye, Maria gathered her ingredients and set to work. She gently sautéed diced onions, green peppers, and celery in a pot with butter until they turned soft and fragrant, filling her kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Next, Maria added the broccoli florets and fresh head of broccoli, letting them simmer in a mixture of milk and seasonings. As the vegetables softened and mingled with the savory flavors, Maria couldn’t help but feel a sense of contentment wash over her.
Finally, Maria stirred in a generous helping of mozzarella cheese, allowing it to melt into the soup and impart a creamy richness. With a sprinkle of Pink Himalayan Salt and a dash of black pepper, Completely Keto Broccoli Soup was ready to be served.
As Maria ladled the steaming soup into bowls and garnished them with diced scallions, she knew she had turned a surplus of broccoli into a deliciously satisfying meal. With each spoonful, she savored the warmth and comfort of her homemade creation, grateful for the simple joys found in a well-stocked refrigerator and a little culinary ingenuity.
