Low Carb Broccoli Soup

This soup is terrific for those of us watching our carb intake. It’s flavorful and wonderfully creamy even though it contains absolutely no milk or cream. The soup is also great for ovo-lacto vegetarians with the cheese garnish and straight vegetarians by leaving the cheese out. Recipe from allrecipes.com
