Carbs In Vegetable Soup

Carbs in this keto soup come mostly from vegetables which also have fiber. To reduce carbs even more, you can use less onion or carrots.

How To Store Low Carb Vegetable Soup?

This delicious low carb vegetable soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Another excellent option for storing vegetable soup is freezing. Once the soup has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to freezer containers and keep it for up to 3 months.

Regarding the seasonings that I used for this Vegetable Soup, I recommended: garlic, celery, parsley, and Italian seasoning.

How to Serve Keto Vegetable Soup

If you don’t like to eat it simply as it is, here are some suggestions to make this Low Carb Vegetable Soup more enjoyable:

  • Eat it with Cornbread – this keto cornbread is fluffy, and tender, and it’s perfect for dipping into this delicious vegetable soup.
  • Something crispy and spicy like these Keto Cheese Chips also pairs great with vegetable soup on a low carb diet.
  • Seeds Crackers 

Substitutions

On the other hand, if you are looking for a strict keto recipe, don’t add carrots and onion. If you don’t have all the vegetables on hand, it’s not a big deal as you can use any vegetables you have in your pantry. The result is still delicious. 

You can also use spinach, kale, broccoli, turnips, mushrooms, green peppers, eggplants, and pumpkin to substitute for the missing ingredients.

    Was looking for a quick vegetable soup for a cold winter night. This was super easy and honestly I was VERY surprised at how good it was. Very flavorful for such a quick and easy soup. I would highly recommend adding the red pepper flakes as it added just the right amount of warmth to the soup. We omitted the bell pepper due to food intolerance and just doubled up on the carrot. Hugh thumbs up!
