This recipe is based off of my wildly popular Keto Chili. The base of the soup is a beef broth and tomato paste mixture that allows for a rich broth with a tomato kick without the carbs tomato juice adds. Meat, tomatoes, green chilies, bell pepper, jalapeño and spices add loads of flavor while cream cheese and heavy cream give it that lovely creamy texture. You can prepare this soup on the stove top or in the Slow Cooker.

Ingredients for Low-Carb Taco Soup

As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our keto taco soup. For the complete recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page.

• Ground beef – You could also use turkey, chicken, chicken, or sausage if you prefer. If you meal prep
• Bell pepper & Jalapeno – These add a bit of spice, but it’s nothing too hot. If you’re sensitive to spice, cut down or eliminate the jalapeno. If you like it spicy, add an extra one or two!
• Canned tomatoes with green chilies, Tomato paste, & Canned green chilies – These simple pantry staples make this such an easy, go-to option! If you’re using your own canned garden tomatoes, just toss in an extra can of green chilies.
• Beef broth, Taco seasoning, Cream cheese, & Heavy cream – If you swapped out the beef for chicken, use chicken broth instead. You can use store-bought or homemade taco seasoning, whichever is easiest. Make sure to use room temperature cream cheese and heavy cream to prevent curdling in the soup.

You’ll need a pot or Dutch oven to make this on the stove. It simmers uncovered, so don’t worry if you don’t have a lid. If you’d rather it cook while you’re at work, you can make it in a slow cooker instead. If your Instant Pot has both sauté & slow cook functions, you can make it in there, too!

How to Make Keto Taco Soup

You can make this delicious soup on the stovetop or in a slow cooker! Here’s a step-by-step guide for this perfect keto comfort food.

Brown meat

Start by browning your meat in a medium-sized pot or Dutch oven. Once it’s cooked through, drain off any grease.

Season & simmer

Add all non-dairy ingredients (peppers, undrained tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, green chilies, and taco seasoning). Stir well to combine, then lower heat to medium low. Allow to simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes until it has reduced and thickened.

Make it creamy

Once the soup has thickened and flavor has developed, stir in the room temperature cream cheese and heavy cream. Turn off heat and gently mix until well combined.

What to Serve with Keto Taco Soup

Spoon into a bowl and top with shredded cheese, sour cream, and avocado. A squeeze of lime juice adds loads of flavor, too! We love this with crushed keto chips on top or with any of these other keto soup toppers. Those chips also go great with Salsa Verde or Avocado Bacon Dip! Don’t forget the Keto Margarita!

How many net carbs are in Keto Taco Soup?

The serving size for this soup comes to about 1.5 cups. I estimate that because it will depend on how much you allow your broth reduce. The serving size could range from 1 and 1/4 cups to 1 and 1/2 cups and should serve 8 comfortably. The net carbs come to 5.3 net carbs.
