FAQ

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

Soups that aren’t filled with starchy foods like potatoes, pasta and rice will be your best bet. Of course, carbs can come from produce too, so limit the vegetables in your soup to keto-friendly options like leafy greens, carrots, cauliflower and mushrooms. Broth-based soups offer significant health benefits, plus they don’t use flour or cornstarch to thicken up. Use our recipe for homemade chicken broth to keep your soups low in sodium.

What can I eat instead of carbs in soup?

You might not want to top soup with crusty bread, tortilla strips or noodles, but don’t sacrifice 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.
