KETO VEGETABLE SOUP is a hearty, filling, and nutritious meal for any weeknight! Loaded with all kinds of low carb vegetables, it’s an easy way to get a nutritious meal in my kids and it’s perfect for a low carb lifestyle.
Ah, soup.
One of my favorite meals, and one of those meals where my husband is like…but what’s for DINNER?
The man just doesn’t think soup counts as dinner and I’m on a mission to change that.
He’s learned to love my keto cheeseburger soup (seriously, outrageously good!) or my keto cabbage soup that’s filled with smoked sausage.
But sometimes the man just has to eat some veggies and learn to live with it, ya know? 😉
This low carb vegetable soup is a simple, classic recipe that I grew up eating. Of course, as a kid there were potatoes involved, but not to worry – there are so many other veggies in here that you won’t miss them!
Regarding the carrots:
Let’s just get this out of the way, because I know I’m going to get some angry comments about the carrots.
Yes, I do call this recipe keto and yes, I do include carrots in the recipe.
There are 2 whole carrots chopped and spread throughout the entire pot of soup that serves 10 people.
Those 2 carrots add a pop of color and makes the soup feel more like the traditional veggie soup we all grew up with. You can certainly leave them out, but I think they make the soup feel a little special.
How to:
- Saute onions, celery, carrots, and garlic in butter and oil until soft.
- Add cauliflower, green beans, tomatoes, beef broth, and seasonings and simmer.
- Stir in the spinach until wilted.
- Taste for seasoning and serve.
As you can see, this recipe is very straightforward.
The most difficult part is chopping the veggies and anyone living that low carb life is a pro at veggie chopping. 😉
Serving Suggestions:
Soup and a salad is a go to in my house.
We serve salad with my keto ranch dressing, keto thousand island dressing, or keto Italian dressing.
My keto cheddar bay biscuits or keto cornbread are also great with soup!

This low carb vegetable soup is packed with fresh veggies. We do add in a couple of carrots to give the soup a pop of color and make it feel more like a traditional soup. You may leave them out if you wish, but they only add 1 net carb per serving and we think it's worth it!

Hi,
Could you ad(pre-browned) ground beef to this soup. If so, how much additional liquid and seasoning would you recommend adding to the pot?
Michelle Kiva says
Do you think this could be made into a beef vegetable soup? If so, how much more liquid and seasoning would you add to the pot?
Karly Campbell says
Absolutely! I don’t think you’ll need any more liquid – maybe an extra cup of broth. Just season to taste. 🙂
Michelle Kiva says
Thanks!
