Broccoli Spinach Soup recipe is a healthy, ultra-creamy soup made with broccoli, spinach, and cheese in an Instant Pot Pressure cooker or Stovetop. It's the ideal comfort food all year long. This broccoli soup is a one-pot recipe and takes less than 30 minutes to make and is Low Carb, Keto Recipe.

Broccoli Cheese Soup served in a soup bowl with cream on top and cheese and raw broccoli on the side

Whenever I buy a bag of organic broccoli and spinach from Costco, I make this Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe at home. It's so yummy and filling.

You can store Broccoli Spinach Soup in the fridge for up to 3 days. Then, reheat it in a microwave or on the stove over medium-low heat.

I used to prepare this recipe on a stovetop pot, but recently I have been making this soup in Instant Pot, an electric pressure cooker. I have explained both Stovetop and Instant Pot versions below.

If you are on a Keto or Low Carb Diet, check out my Keto Indian Food Recipes Collection. Always use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk for a keto-friendly broccoli spinach soup. Also, you can use half and half milk.

If you think the soup is too thin, you can add cornflour-water mixture into the soup and boil for 2 minutes. This gives thick consistency. I like soup thin so I did not add it.
