The post 28 Mouthwatering Ketogenic Soup Recipes appeared first on Paleo Flourish Magazine.
One of the great things of being on a ketogenic diet is that you often feel less hungry. And so, some days, instead of a heavy meal of steak or bacon and eggs, you might want a simple soup instead.
Ketogenic soup recipes (especially if made from delicious bone broth) can be very nutritious, high in healthy fats, and supply you with essential vitamins and minerals. They’re also a great way to get more vegetables into your keto diet.
We’ve put together a large selection of different ketogenic soup recipes below. You’ll find everything from traditional Chicken soups to thick non-dairy “creamy” soups.
Why not try one for breakfast even! Many Asian cultures traditionally have soups (made with bone broth) for breakfast, so why not pick up this healthy habit.

Although this recipe is quite simple and gives a real homemade taste, it can also be so versatile! If you have other veggies, broccoli for example, you can include this.

Ingredients: chicken breast, chili powder, garlic powder, organic chicken broth or homemade chicken broth, serrano chile peppers, garlic, tomatoes, onion, olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, fresh cilantro, avocado, sea salt.
This recipe has its roots in Mexican cuisine and has a great heat from the chilis. If you like it hotter, simply use a stronger chile pepper! The lime gives this soup a fantastic freshness and fills the room with amazing scents when you cook it. If your family do not like the onion you can miss it out, or try grating it quite finely.

Using a crock pot or slow cooker is such a great idea, especially for busy people who don’t want to be stuck at the stove for ages. It is so easy to put the ingredients in before you leave and the soup will be ready when you get home. Thanks to the enchilada sauce, this soup is full of flavor and totally different to traditional chicken soups. Poblano peppers are mild, but you can use stronger ones if you like spicier.

Ingredients: onion, celery stalks, carrots, apple cider vinegar, herbes de Provence, sprigs fresh herbs, chicken breasts, chicken thighs, sea salt, ground pepper, water.
Ideal for comfort food on a chilly day, this traditional recipe is a great way to use up leftover meat. The apple cider vinegar gives this dish a lovely fresh taste, and you can add all your favorite herbs, or experiment with a few new ones! If you prefer to make a richer soup, you can substitute chicken broth for some of the water.
Paleo Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Ingredients: chicken broth, chicken breast, avocado oil, celery, green onion, cilantro, zucchini, salt.
Chicken noodle soup is a favorite with so many of us, children included! This is the perfect recipe to encourage the kids to eat more veggies – they don’t even think of the ‘noodles’ as vegetables! You can use a potato peeler to create thin strips from zucchini, or treat yourself to a spiralizer and have fun making this.

Ingredients: chicken breast, Paleo adobo seasoning, whitefish filet, chicken stock, lime juice, celery stalk, carrot, bird’s eye chili peppers, garlic, coconut oil, fresh ginger, sweet onion, lemongrass stalk, fresh herbs: cilantro, mint, basil, cilantro, scallions.
There is a lovely Asian flavor to this soup because of the lemongrass and ginger. It also has a great chilli kick adding to the warming feeling this soup gives you. You can just use fish stock instead of the whitefish if you are not too keen on the pieces of fish, although the fish gives a more traditional flavor.
Fish Soup Recipes
Creamy Leek Salmon Soup
– Meatified

Ingredients: avocado oil, leeks, garlic, seafood or chicken broth, dried thyme leaves, salmon, coconut milk, salt, pepper.
This dish is great if you like cream soups but want to stay dairy-free. The creaminess comes from the coconut milk and makes a lovely base for the salmon. The leeks give a subtle sweetness and are not a strong vegetable, which is a good idea as some salmon has a really delicate flavor. Leeks are also perfect for freezing – just slice or chop and pop them in a bag, then you will have them ready-prepared for soups and stews.
Brazilian Shrimp Stew
– I Breathe I’m Hungry

Ingredients: shrimp, olive oil, onion, garlic, red pepper, fresh cilantro, tomatoes with chilies, coconut milk, Sriracha hot sauce, fresh lime juice, salt, pepper.
Based on a traditional Brazilian recipe, this fish stew is creamy, spicy and delicious! Fresh with the lime juice and herbs, this is a satisfying way to use up frozen shrimp, or if you can’t eat shrimp you can use white fish pieces or even chicken. By using the hot sauce, you are in charge of how hot you want it!

Ingredients: chicken broth, full fat coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves, fresh lemongrass, dried lemongrass, fresh cilantro, dried thai chilies or a jalapeno, fresh galangal root or fresh ginger root, sea salt, shrimp or raw chicken thigh meat, coconut oil, mushrooms, red onion, fish sauce or anchovy, lime juice, cilantro.
This soup takes only half an hour to cook, but with the use of traditional ingredients, it is full of Asian flavors and aromas. It is a lovely starter for a dinner party or celebration as it looks quite indulgent with the shrimp. In Thai restaurants this soup can actually contain white sugar and MSG, so here is the answer to getting the same flavors but without all the harmful ingredients.
Carrot Ginger Halibut Soup
– Phoenix Helix
Ingredients: coconut oil, onion, carrots, fresh ginger, chicken broth, water, halibut, black pepper, sea salt.
As this soup has a blended base, it is so warming, satisfying and filling, and is also a great way of getting kids to eat vegetables! Halibut is a fish that is slowly coming back into fashion, which is fantastic as it is full of vitamins and nutrients and is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. It is also easy to digest, so it can help people with digestive difficulties.
Salmon Head Soup
– Rubies and Radishes
Ingredients: salmon head, small onion, green garlic, wakame, ginger, mirin or coconut vinegar, tamari or coconut aminos, zucchinis, chives, chilies.
It might be a bit surprising, but fish heads and tails still have meat on them once they are removed from the fish. You can buy them from fishmongers at a much cheaper price than filets. This recipe has a subtle heat from the ginger, and is filling thanks to the zucchini noodles. Ginger can be stored easily in the freezer which means you can buy larger amounts if you find a bargain, then use it up in soups and stews.
Simple Paleo Coconut Seafood Soup Recipe
– Paleo Flourish Magazine
Ingredients: chicken stock, button mushrooms, kale, romaine lettuce, tilapia filets, shrimp or prawns, mussels, coconut cream, Red Boat fish sauce (optional), salt.
This lovely soup can be ready to eat in 30 minutes, making it a great dish to make when you get home after a busy day. As this is a creamy soup, it is so satisfying that it can be used as the main dish for your meal. The fish sauce adds a real depth of flavor to this dish and compliments the seafood well. If you or your family don’t like kale, simply swap it out for another vegetable e.g. spinach.
Other Meat-based Soup Recipes

Ingredients: uncured bacon, grass-fed and -finished chuck roast, red onions, garlic, green or Savoy cabbage, Celtic sea salt, ground black pepper, sprig of fresh organic thyme, homemade beef bone broth.
Slow cooking is a great way of making soups, as it means that the meat is tender and the flavors have plenty of time to saturate throughout the soup. The bacon in this ketogenic soup recipe gives it a lovely flavor and the cabbage helps to bulk up this soup. Using fresh herbs also gives a lovely freshness to the taste.
Beef Noodle Soup with Shitake Mushrooms and Baby Bok Choy from Spiralized
– Civilized Caveman Cooking

Ingredients: zucchini, garlic, NY strip steak, crushed red pepper flakes, olive oil, water, chicken broth, coconut aminos, baby bok choy, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, salt, pepper.
This is a wonderful soup that leaves you feeling full, yet not weighed down by pasta or noodles! If you use a spiralizer, the zucchini noodles give you the same kind of texture as pasta, and it is great fun to make! Chinese cabbage or bok choy gives the soup a bit of bulk, yet is light and tasty. The beef in this recipe can be cooked for a bit longer if you prefer your steak well done instead of pink.
Thai Tom Saap Pork Ribs Soup Recipe [Paleo, AIP, Keto]
– Paleo Flourish Magazine
Ingredients: pork spare ribs, red shallots, lemongrass stalks, galangal or ginger, water, kaffir lime leaves or cilantro, lime juice, fish sauce, salt.
In Thailand soups are very popular and are even served as street food. A lot of their soups can be easily Paleo-fied and are packed with Asian flavors like lemongrass and ginger. Normally this dish is served packed full of chillies, so you could experiment to find the amount that suits you. One tip we can add is to bruise the lemongrass slightly before adding, letting out more of its flavor.
Creamy Cauliflower & Ham Soup
– I Breathe I’m Hungry

Ingredients: cauliflower florets, ham stock or chicken broth, water, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped ham, apple cider vinegar, fresh thyme leaves, butter (or ghee, bacon fat, or coconut oil), kosher salt, ground black pepper.
One of the best ways to get a beautiful broth as a base for soups and stews is to boil up a ham bone. If you boil the bone for a long time, the resulting broth gels when cooled and is packed with flavor.
This soup is a definite “go to” for cold days when you crave something homemade, and it freezes well so is suitable for batch-cooking.
Creamy Vegetable Soup Recipes

– The Healthy Foodie

Ingredients: extra-virgin olive oil, onion, celery rib, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, ground white, pepper, celery seeds, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, chicken broth, milk of choice.
This soup gets its creamy texture from the addition of the cauliflower, although this does not affect the taste of the broccoli. You can use a stick blender for this dish, but you will get a creamier texture if you use a traditional blender. Keep a couple of broccoli florets aside and chop finely to add as a garnish to the finished dish.
“Cream” of Broccoli Soup
– The Paleo Mom

Ingredients: bone broth, broccoli, avocado, ground nutmeg.
The creamy texture in this soup is achieved by adding avocado which has a naturally smooth texture. It really doesn’t matter what kind of bone broth you use; it is a matter of taste or whatever you have to hand! The broccoli is full of antioxidants, making this dish a perfect healthy alternative. It’s also a great way to disguise veggies for fussy kids and picky eaters.
Classic Cream of Mushroom Soup
– Healthful Pursuit
Ingredients: cauliflower florets, unsweetened original almond milk, onion powder, Himalayan rock salt, ground pepper, extra-virgin olive oil, white mushrooms, yellow onion.
Not only is this soup super healthy, it tastes great too! Using cauliflower puree gives it a great creamy texture but doesn’t affect the mushroom taste. This recipe calls for white mushrooms but you could use your favorites, or try a combination of different types like shiitake or chestnut.
Easy Creamy Zucchini Soup
– Primally Inspired
Ingredients: zucchini, onion, garlic cloves, ghee or olive oil, salt, chicken stock, fresh basil leaves.
This soup is quick and easy to prepare and is easy to fall back on if you are in a rush. It also freezes well, so if you grow your own zucchini and have too much, just turn it into soup and freeze for use later on. To get the lovely green color in this dish, just leave the zucchini whole and don’t peel it.
Creamy Curried Cauliflower Green Soup (Dairy-Free)

Ingredients: cauliflower florets, chard, baby spinach, small onion, garlic, curry powder, homemade broth (chicken, beef, or veggie), water, coconut milk (homemade or canned), salt, pepper, ghee or coconut oil.
The curry powder used in this soup gives a lovely warming heat to the dish, which is ideal for colder days. If you buy your veggies at a farmer’s market, try looking out for Romanesco cauliflower as it is green and has a different flavor to the white one, but makes a great alternative in this recipe. When you are sautéing the garlic just be careful because it can burn quite easily.
Creamy Curried Cauliflower Soup

Ingredients: cauliflower, avocado oil or fat of choice, white onion, garlic cloves, ginger, serrano pepper, curry powder, turmeric powder, sea salt, black pepper, full fat coconut milk, chicken or vegetable broth, fenugreek leaves or cilantro.
The flavors found in this soup are deep and spicy and remind you of Indian cuisine. This soup is ideal for a quick lunch or as an appetizer for a main meal or dinner party – its smooth texture makes it look luxurious. The cauliflower quickly absorbs all the flavors of the spices and helps to carry the flavor throughout the dish. An alternative garnish would be simply to sprinkle a little turmeric on the top.
Cauliflower Soup
– The Coconut Mama
Ingredients: leeks, cauliflower, coconut cream, chicken or bone broth, salt.
This is a simple recipe and is a healthier alternative to the traditional leek and potato soup. Cauliflower is more versatile than you may think and is used to give this soup a creamy texture without the extra carbs. The cauliflower also does not have a strong flavor, which makes it a great base for the sweetness of the leeks. You can use any bone broth you have, or boil up a leftover chicken carcass to make use of every part of the chicken.
Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Fried Sage
– Slim Palate

Ingredients: cauliflower, ghee or fat of choice, yellow onion, garlic, chicken stock, full fat coconut milk, salt, pepper, sage leaves.
Roasting the cauliflower for this recipe gives it a slight nutty flavor and is perfect for anyone missing out on cream-based soups, either for health reasons or for weight loss. Adding the fried sage leaves is not a necessity, but if you give it a try you will find it really adds something special! This recipe can also be made dairy-free by using coconut oil instead of ghee.

Ingredients: asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, baby spinach, small onion, garlic, homemade broth (chicken, beef , or veggie), tarragon, bay leaf, homemade nut milk of choice, fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, pepper, ghee or coconut oil.
Shiitake mushrooms are a good source of B vitamins and can boost immune systems – not only that, they are delicious! This is quite a versatile recipe as you can use veggies that are in season and your own choice of broth as a base. Mushrooms have a great meaty texture, making this soup a satisfying dish to serve.
No-Cook Refreshing Mint Avocado Chilled Soup [Paleo, Keto, AIP]
– Paleo Flourish Magazine
Ingredients: ripe avocado, romaine lettuce leaves, coconut milk, lime juice, fresh mint leaves, salt.
Chilled soups are so easy to make but are a winner when used as an appetizer for a dinner party. This chilled dish gives you the feel of summer – packed with freshness from the lime and mint! When blending this dish, try to add the lime juice quickly after the avocado as this will stop the avocado from oxidizing and turning brown. If you have never tried a chilled soup before, then give this a try as you won’t find an easier introduction!
