This low carb broccoli soup recipe requires only a few ingredients and a few simple steps to make the perfect, creamy, clean soup.
This soup is delicious on its own, but it also goes well with any desired toppings.

- 1 tbsp shallots, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 60g heavy whipping cream
