Keto cream soup ingredients list
- We start with plenty of vegetables that we’ve been using in many recipes throughout this website. I’m talking about green peas, green beans, broccoli, leaks, carrots and celery. So many amazing vegetables in the same recipe can only mean this is one healthy recipe, wouldn’t you say so?
- I’ve also used one big avocado. Avocado is a great source of nutrients (especially healthy fats and potassium) but also helps A LOT with making this soup creamy and easy to blend.
- You can’t have soup without spices! My goal was to keep this recipe simple and healthy, that’s why I’ve used only spices that everyone has access to: black pepper, chili pepper and Himalayan salt.
Quick Note: I used frozen broccoli, frozen green peas and frozen green beans, Why? Simply because they are available in any season and will only take 2 minutes to cook in water. The nutrient value and taste of frozen plants doesn’t change which makes using frozen veggies a time saver.
How to make Spicy Keto Cream Soup
This recipe is not by any means complicated and doesn’t require any kind of special cooking experience or a fancy kitchen. My recipe makes for 4 servings and will be ready in under 30 minutes.
The only requirement is to have a blender or kitchen robot in order to puree all the ingredients into perfectly creamy soup. Since we’ll be pureeing soft cooked vegetables, it’s good to know that almost any kind of blender will pretty much do it.
These are the steps to follow for making spicy keto cream soup:
- Add all the vegetables in a cooking pot, cover with water and bring to a boil.
- Once vegetables are soft enough (after 10 minutes of so) remove water and set aside to cool down.
- Next, add cooked vegetables into your blender, along with avocado, spices and salt.
- Blend on medium speed until reaching a creamy consistency.
- DONE! This is pretty much the entire process … told you it’s easy!
This keto cream soup can be upgraded!
When it comes to serving this keto cream soup, you can definitely enjoy it by itself (both hot or cold) or upgrade the flavors and nutritional value with additional sources of healthy fats.
These are my favorite sources of healthy fats to match this delicious keto cream soup:
- Avocado – We’ve already included avocado in the recipe but a bit more won’t harm anyone, right?!
- Walnuts or Pecans – Nuts will add a bit of crunchiness to your cream soup, plus good fats, proteins and other nutrients.
- Brie or Camembert Cheese – I absolutely love to pair my cream soup with a few slices of French soft cheese. The creamy texture of brie cheese will match perfectLy with this creamy soup.
- Cheddar or Parmesan Cheese – Matured hard cheeses like English cheddar or Italian parmesan can be a great choice, and you won’t need much to boost the flavor of this soup to a whole new level.
- Olives – I love to pair this soup with either green olives, kalamata olives or dried olives (use olives that are free of preservatives, preferably organic).
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil over your soup bowl, mix and serve.

Iunderstand this recipe is thought vegan, but you suggest adding brie cheese to it and it just made it 100% more interesting to me!
Thank you Eva 🙂
Yes, the recipe is vegan but I usually like to eat this kind of meal with olives, nuts or a true French cheese. I guess vegan cheese also works super.
I never tried making soup with avocado, but it makes sense – Sounds sooo yummy!
Thanks for your message Aline! Really appreciated here …. and the soup is super tasty and healthy. If you try it, shoot me a message to let me know how it turns out.
