Keto Mushroom Soup

Simply the best keto mushroom soup! Creamy and tasty but without an overload of dairy cream. Flavoured with thyme and garlic, it’s a classic you’ll fall back on time and time again. I like to drizzle it with olive oil and herbs and serve with keto dinner rolls.

Notes

  • 1g net carbs per serving. Makes 4 cups of soup. 
  • Tip: For maximum taste add ⅓ cup / 10g dried porcini mushrooms, soaked for 5 mins in hot water, washed and drained. Adds 1.6g net carbs per serve.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. 
  • If you are meal prepping a large batch that you plan to freeze, omit the cream in the recipe. Simply add 1 tablespoon of cream per serving after defrosting and before reheating. Cream can separate when frozen and create a grainy texture.
