Broccoli cheddar soup is often gluten-free, as its main ingredients (broccoli, cheese, cream, and broth) do not naturally contain gluten. However, some recipes may include flour as a thickener or other gluten-containing additives, so it’s important to check the specific ingredients or preparation method if you have gluten sensitivities.
High in vitamins and minerals: Broccoli is rich in vitamins C, K, and folate, as well as minerals like potassium and calcium.
Antioxidant properties: Broccoli contains powerful antioxidants that help protect cells from damage.
Fiber content: Broccoli is a good source of dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes feelings of fullness.
Potential cancer-fighting compounds: Broccoli contains sulforaphane, which may have anti-cancer properties.
Bone health: The calcium in both broccoli and cheddar cheese contributes to stronger bones and teeth.
Protein source: Cheese provides protein, which is essential for muscle growth and repair.
Heart health: Some studies suggest that compounds in broccoli may help reduce cholesterol levels.
Eye health: Broccoli contains lutein and zeaxanthin, which may help protect against age-related eye disorders.
Immune system support: The vitamin C in broccoli helps boost the immune system.
Comfort food: The warmth and richness of the soup can provide emotional comfort, which can have positive effects on overall well-being.Remember that the health benefits can vary depending on the recipe and ingredients used, especially considering the cheese content and preparation method.
People with dairy allergies or severe lactose intolerance, due to the cheese and cream content
Individuals on a low-fat diet, as the soup is typically high in saturated fat from cheese and cream
Those following a low-sodium diet, as many versions of this soup can be high in sodium
People with cruciferous vegetable sensitivities or thyroid issues, as broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable
Individuals on blood thinners like warfarin, as broccoli is high in vitamin K which can interfere with these medications
Those following a vegan or plant-based diet, unless it’s a specially prepared vegan version
People with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, if the soup contains flour as a thickener (always check ingredients)
Individuals trying to lose weight, as the soup can be calorie-dense
Those with FODMAP sensitivities, as both broccoli and dairy can be problematic
People with certain gastrointestinal conditions that are aggravated by high-fat foodsRemember, these are general guidelines, and individual tolerances may vary. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized dietary advice.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
