– Rubies and Radishes

Ingredients: salmon head, small onion, green garlic, wakame, ginger, mirin or coconut vinegar, tamari or coconut aminos, zucchinis, chives, chilies.

Chilled soups are so easy to make but are a winner when used as an appetizer for a dinner party. This chilled dish gives you the feel of summer – packed with freshness from the lime and mint! When blending this dish, try to add the lime juice quickly after the avocado as this will stop the avocado from oxidizing and turning brown. If you have never tried a chilled soup before, then give this a try as you won’t find an easier introduction!

Cauliflower, Leek, and Bacon Soup

It’s also a great way to disguise veggies for fussy kids and picky eaters.

Grain Free Cream of Mushroom Soup

– Healthful Pursuit

Ingredients: cauliflower florets, unsweetened original almond milk, onion powder, Himalayan rock salt, ground pepper, extra-virgin olive oil, white mushrooms, yellow onion.

Ingredients: cauliflower florets, chard, baby spinach, small onion, garlic, curry powder, homemade broth (chicken, beef, or veggie), water, coconut milk (homemade or canned), salt, pepper, ghee or coconut oil.

The curry powder used in this soup gives a lovely warming heat to the dish, which is ideal for colder days. If you buy your veggies at a farmer’s market, try looking out for Romanesco cauliflower as it is green and has a different flavor to the white one, but makes a great alternative in this recipe. When you are sautéing the garlic just be careful because it can burn quite easily.

This is a simple recipe and is a healthier alternative to the traditional leek and potato soup. Cauliflower is more versatile than you may think and is used to give this soup a creamy texture without the extra carbs. The cauliflower also does not have a strong flavor, which makes it a great base for the sweetness of the leeks. You can use any bone broth you have, or boil up a leftover chicken carcass to make use of every part of the chicken.

Cauliflower Leftover Ham Soup

– I Breathe I’m Hungry

Photo Credit: Mellissa from I Breathe I’m Hungry

Ingredients: cauliflower florets, ham stock or chicken broth, water, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped ham, apple cider vinegar, fresh thyme leaves, butter (or ghee, bacon fat, or coconut oil), kosher salt, ground black pepper.

One of the best ways to get a beautiful broth as a base for soups and stews is to boil up a ham bone. If you boil the bone for a long time, the resulting broth gels when cooled and is packed with flavor. This soup is a definite “go to” for cold days when you crave something homemade, and it freezes well so is suitable for batch-cooking.

What kind of soup has no carbs?

A lot of broths have zero carbs and are very Keto-friendly. So give chicken broth and bone broth a try if you’re trying to keep your carb intake really low.

A small amount of meats (chicken, turkey, beef, ham, bacon) in the broth will add extra fats and protein to your soup. That’ll keep you full without adding hardly any additional carbs.

Vegetables are another great addition to Keto soups. However, Keto vegetables (even leafy green vegetables like spinach and kale) will add some carbs to your soup. However, the extra fiber, vitamins, minerals as well as flavor that vegetables add to your soup can be well worth the extra few carbs.

Is chicken broth Keto friendly?

Yes, most chicken broths are Keto-friendly as they contain hardly any carbs. They are also very low in fat and usually contain a small amount of protein (mostly from the collagen in the soup).

If you’re buying chicken broth at the store, make sure to read the ingredient label and check there’s no added preservatives, coloring, or sugars.

Is tomato soup heavy on carbs?

Tomato soup can definitely be a bit heavy on carbs. One cup of tomatoes contain 6 grams of carbs (with 2 grams of fiber). Tomato soup also typically contain onions, other vegetables, as well as herbs and spices. All of those add additional carbs to your soup so that one bowl can be 6-8 grams of net carbs.

So, if you’re looking to have tomato soup, choose a recipe that doesn’t use as much tomatoes.

Is beef broth Keto?

Yes, beef broth is Keto. If you’re buying beef broth ready made, then double check the ingredients to make sure it doesn’t contain added sugar or preservatives.

You can also easily make your own beef broth (or even better, your own beef bone broth using beef bones).
