This Low Carb Broccoli Cheese Soup is full of flavor and nutrients! There are many recipes out there for Instant Pot or Ninja Foodie broccoli soup. I tried many recipes, and Casey Trenum’s is the best. This recipe is 1/2 of the original, for a family of 2-3. You surely can make the whole recipe to freeze in individual serving sizes. Just double these amounts.
Enjoy
