Keto Soup Recipes FAQ

What kind of soup can you eat on a keto diet?

If you’re following a keto diet, you can eat any soups that don’t contain starchy foods like potatoes, pasta and rice. Most people like to stay below 50 grams of carbohydrates for the whole day, so we chose soups with 11 grams of carbs or fewer per serving. Carbs can also come from produce, so limit the vegetables in your soup to keto-friendly options like leafy greens, carrots, cauliflower and mushrooms.

How do I reduce carbs in soup to make it keto-friendly?

Reduce the carbohydrate counts of your soups by using non-starchy veggies like cauliflower instead of potatoes or swapping in zucchini noodles instead of pasta noodles. You’ll also want to avoid carb-heavy toppings, so skip the crusty bread, tortilla strips or noodles. But that doesn’t mean you have to avoid all fun soup toppers! Try crumbled bacon, sliced jalapeno, cheese crisps, sliced almonds or pumpkin seeds the next time you want a bit of crunch in your soup.

What broth is keto-friendly?

Most store-bought bone broth is keto-friendly, but making homemade broth is the best way to ensure you use keto-approved ingredients. Homemade broth is low in calories and carbohydrates, and you can increase the fat content if you don’t skim the fat from the surface.
