Keto Panera Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe
There is something about the cooler days of Fall that make me want to make a good hot soup.
Few soups are as satisfying as the well seasoned, creamy, cheesy broccoli soup they serve at Panera.
We may not be serving it in a bread bowl like they do in the restaurant, but we do have savory crunchy low carb croutons for on top!
Here’s what you need to make this Copy Cat Keto Panera Soup!
- What I like best about this soup is there are no special or unusual ingredients. You’ll have most of this on hand in your pantry and fridge. The only thing I had to buy was broccoli!
- A 3 quart heavy bottom pot
- If you want the croutons, you will need 2 chaffles (or 2 slices of zero carb bread)
- A baking pan (with parchment or baking pan) to bake the crunchy croutons

I’ve made this soup so many times and I love it!! I went to my old pin that had it saved and it was gone so I found it on here. Has the recipe changed? It looks different from before. Thanks!
No, I haven’t changed a thing, maybe it was someone else’s recipe that you had saved? This soup is my son’s favorite and I make it for him whenever he comes home for a visit!
