Keto Cream of Mushroom Soup

Heat butter in a heavy bottom pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 5–8 minutes.

Add garlic and chopped mushrooms and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. Add chicken broth, heavy cream and sprinkle xanthan gum over the top and whisk in. Bring to a boil for a few minutes to let thicken.

If you want a completely smooth soup, you can carefully blend it in a food processor, or you can blend half of the soup if you want it to have a bit of texture. You could also use an immersion blender directly in the pot, just be careful of the hot soup!

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes:
• I like to use a food processor to chop the mushrooms finely
• For the mushroom topping, I saved a couple of mushrooms and sliced them thin, then cooked them until crisp in a little oil.
