I made this on a whim today and it turned out marvelously.

Ingredients:

2 cups broccoli florets chopped
4 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
4 pints of Dean's Heavy Cream (Deans has no carbs)
6 slices precooked bacon (make sure it isn't cured with sugar I found some on Tuesday that did and had to throw it out)
one half cup of onions
white pepper
black pepper
salt
dash of paprika (for coloring)
2 tablespoons of butter

saute the onions in butter until tranluscent
add the broccoli and saute for another 3-4 minutes
pour in a half cup of cold water (keeps the cream from scalding when you first pour it in)
Immediately pour in the cream, stir and add white pepper, black pepper, salt and a dash of paprika. Drop in bits of the shredded cheddar cheese and allow them to melt before adding the next bit to avoid clumping. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Stir often to avoid scorching. Serve with plain pork rinds as a substitute for crackers.

19 net carbs in the soup if you use 0 carb heavy cream. I seperated out 4 servings coming in at approx. 4 carbs each. I ate one and the other two are in the freezer for next week.
