3 Keto Soup Ideas – How to make easy low carb soups with vegetables, chicken and other ketogenic ingredients – with the video.

3 Keto Soup Ideas

As the weather has become chilly lately here in Ireland, I’ve been rotating through these 3 easy keto soup ideas each week.

Each soup make a hearty, warming meal that’s simple to put together and makes a brilliant comfort meal. (Here are even more easy keto comfort food recipes for you.)

You can even prepare a pot of soup ahead of time over the weekend to enjoy through the week.

1. Keto Chicken Soup

I find that a bowl of chicken soup is sublimely healing and nurturing through the Winter months.

To make a really simple soup, all you need is:

• Chicken Drumsticks, Wings or Thighs – ideally with bone in and skin on for flavor and nutrition
• Onion, peeled and chopped
• Garlic, peeled and chopped
• Salt & Pepper, to taste
• Coconut Oil, for cooking

Start by melting coconut oil in a large saucepan, then add the chicken. Toss the chicken to brown on all sides.

Once the chicken has browned, add in the chopped onion, garlic, salt and pepper to taste.

Toss the onion and garlic through the chicken and briefly brown and soften, then pour water over to cover. Add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to help draw nutrients from the bones.

Bring the soup up to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1.5 to 2.5 hours or until the chicken is tender and falling off of the bones.

Remove the chicken from the soup, then pull all of the chicken off the bones and return to the soup. You can save the bones to make another batch of soup, if you like.

You can also add other vegetables and ingredients to your soup once it’s ready:

• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Zucchini or Zucchini Noodles/Zoodles

Serve in bowls and enjoy your homemade chicken soup.

2. Creamy Vegetable Soup

You can use any low carb vegetables you like in a creamy vegetable soup.

In this instance I simply went for zucchini, onion and garlic. You could also include any of the following keto friendly vegetables in your soup that you like:

• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Mushrooms
• Asparagus
• Brussel Sprouts
• Pumpkin
• Cabbage

Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan and, when hot, add in chopped onion and garlic. Cook until softened and starting to brown.

Then, add in the chopped zucchini and any other low carb vegetables you like, along with salt, pepper and any other seasoning you like, to taste.

Soften slightly, then pour over stock or water to cover, bring up to the boil then reduce the heat down and simmer for 15 to 25 minutes.

Cook until the vegetables are soft enough to blend, so the cooking time will depend on the vegetables you’re using.

Once cooked, blend using a stick mixer until creamy. You can also choose to blend through or top your soup with any of the following creamy and flavorful ingredients:

• Cream
• Almond Milk
• Sour Cream
• Cream Cheese
• Butter
• Grated Cheese
• Parmesan
• Feta
• Pine Nuts

3. Leek & Cauliflower Soup

This leek and cauliflower soup is a low carb friendly version of potato and leek soup. I’ve simply swapped carb heavy potatoes for cauliflower.

Blue cheese is the perfect topping as it brings the flavours together and adds it’s distinctive strong taste.

You could swap the blue cheese for fried bacon, which is another popular topping for such a soup. Also, you can finish off the soup by blending through cream or sour cream for an extra creamy and rich texture.

Here’s the full recipe for how to make the soup:

• 1-2 Leeks, Chopped
• 3-4 Garlic Cloves, Peeled and Chopped
• 1 Head of Cauliflower, Chopped
• Salt & Pepper, to taste
• 4 Cups Vegetable Stock
• 1/4 Cup Cream or Sour Cream (Optional) 
• Blue Cheese (Optional)
• Butter or Coconut Oil, for frying 

1. Heat butter or coconut oil in a saucepan. 
2. Add the chopped leek and garlic.
3. Cook until starting to soften and become fragrant. 
4. Add the chopped cauliflower, salt and pepper to taste. 
5. Cook for a few minutes then pour over the vegetable stock. 
6. Bring up to the boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until the vegetables have all softened. 
7. Remove from the heat, pour in the (optional) cream or sour cream and carefully blend with a stick blender until smooth. 
8. Pour into bowls an top with (optional) crumbled blue cheese.
