This quick and nutritious cream of mushroom keto soup makes the perfect low carb lunch, ready in just 25 minutes and with only 5.6g net carbs per serving.
Keto soup isn’t the first thing you’d think of making when going low carb, most soups we make tend to be using starchy vegetables like potato, carrot etc. The trick is to find low carb, but flavorful vegetables as a base, then complement them with suitable fats to give the soup richness and texture.
This soup does just that, taking meaty, umami mushrooms for a delicious, warming, autumnal flavor, and using cream to give body to the dish as well as to up the fat quantity to make this a keto soup.

This recipe freezes great, as do the dinner rolls, making this an ideal, make ahead meal to freeze for those days when you just don’t have the energy to cook from scratch.
If you’re new to keto and not wanting to be cooking constantly, this is a great recipe to cook in bulk, maybe doubling the quantities. Portion out the soup once cooled into individual portions in freezer bags and defrost and microwave as needed.
