This winter, I was craving something cozy but still wanted to keep it low carb, so I made this creamy, beefy tomato soup. It’s a definite MUST-TRY! It’s got all the comforting flavors of a classic tomato soup but also reminds me of a lasagna soup – just less cheesy. It’s perfect to pair with a keto grilled cheese sandwich.
Instead of traditional elbow macaroni, this version uses lupini noodles, which are packed with protein and fiber, making this soup extra satisfying while staying low carb. The noodles are made using lupini beans, a legume, and give you that pasta-like taste and texture similar to traditional noodles.
To balance out the acidity from the tomatoes, this soup gets a creamy boost from cream cheese and just a touch of sugar-free brown sugar substitute. This yields a rich, velvety soup with a perfect blend of beefy, savory and sweet notes. It’s a quick throw together, totally family-friendly, and perfect for meal prep since the flavors get even better the next day!
How to make tomato soup keto
I realize 23 grams of net carbs is too high to be declared a keto dish, so let me tell you how you can lower the carbs even more. Following these suggestions, you can have a bowl of creamy keto tomato soup that is only 12 grams of carbs per serving.
- Omit the onion – The yellow onion adds almost 1 gram carb per serving. It does provide flavor; however, it’s absolutely necessary for a tasty bowl of tomato basil soup.
- Decrease the crushed tomatoes – Instead of one 28-oz can of crushed tomatoes, lower it to a half a can. This will save you around 5 net carbs per serving.
- Omit or decrease the amount of tomato sauce – Tomato sauce is also a higher source of carbohydrates in this recipe. If you omit the tomato sauce, you will save about 6 net carbs per serving.
