    This keto chayote soup is a spicy and creamy low carb vegan soup. It’s a quick and easy recipe ready in under 30 minutes.

    A very creamy soup with the cooked chayote almost delivering the same thickening properties that a potato does in your soup. Chayote by itself does not have a lot of flavour, but it works well in this low carb soup recipe.

    Is Chayote keto?

    Chayote is a great vegetable for a keto diet. As well as having 4g net carbs per cup it has a high fiber content and is rich in vitamin C.

    Chayote has many names depending upon where in the world you are. In the Caribbean we mainly know it as christophene. Other names are choko, chuchu and pear squash 

    What to serve with chayote soup

    To make a bowl of soup a heartier meal serve with a jalapeno cheese muffins, a low carb bread roll or with a small salad.

    Recipe Tips

    The smaller the chayote pieces are chopped the better for faster cooking.

    Add cumin or cayenne for extra spice.

    Can be frozen. Store in a sealed container or zip lock bag. Defrost thoroughly before reheating.
