Enjoy a bowl of creamy keto asparagus soup with just a few ingredients. Serve with low carb bread rolls for a hearty low carb vegetarian meal.
Asparagus is a great vegetable to grill or bake but equally enjoyable in a soup. There's something soothing about a green soup too!
Is asparagus keto?
Asparagus is a great low carb vegetable as it only has 1.8g net carbs per 100g serving. These green vegetables are an excellent source of folate, anti-inflammatory and rich in fibre.
How to make keto asparagus soup
For this soup recipe I've omitted onion as a base to keep the carbs low and to not distract too much from the asparagus flavour.
This low carb soup is a simple recipe with just a handful of ingredients. All you need is asparagus, garlic, vegetable stock, lemon juice and cream. Season with salt and pepper and that's it!
Can you make this vegan?
This asparagus soup can easily be made vegan by substituting the cream with coconut cream. Swap the butter for avocado or olive oil and you had a great vegan soup.
Recipe Tips
Enhance the flavour by adding grated fresh ginger to the soup.
