Keto Soup Recipes That Will Keep You Warm and Cozy All Winter Long

If you are following a ketogenic diet, you might have to give up your favorite comfort foods like meatloaf, chili, tortillas, crockpot meals, granola, side dishes, and soup. But that is not true! You can still enjoy these hearty and satisfying dishes by making some simple substitutions and using low-carb ingredients. In this blog, I will show you how to make keto-friendly versions of these comfort foods that are easy, delicious, and filling.

Keto Meatloaf

Meatloaf is a classic dish that is moist, tender, and flavorful. But it is also made with breadcrumbs and ketchup, which are high in carbs and sugar. To make a keto meatloaf, you need to replace the breadcrumbs with a low-carb alternative like almond flour or pork rinds and the ketchup with a sugar-free tomato sauce. Here is a recipe for a keto meatloaf that has only 4 grams of net carbs per serving:

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mix 1 kg of ground beef, 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 2 teaspoons of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 cup of chopped parsley until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and shape it into a loaf.
In a small bowl, whisk 1/2 cup of sugar-free tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of erythritol, and 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika until smooth.
Spread the sauce evenly over the top of the keto meatloaf.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
Let the keto meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Keto Chili

Chili is a spicy and hearty stew that is perfect for cold days. But it is also made with beans and tomatoes, which are high in carbs and can cause inflammation. To make a keto chili, you need to omit the beans and use a low-carb tomato sauce or paste. You can also add some low-carb vegetables like celery, mushrooms, or zucchini to bulk up the chili. Here is a recipe for a keto chili that has only 6 grams of net carbs per serving:

In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook 1 kg of ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through.
Drain the excess fat and transfer the beef to a bowl.
In the same pot, heat another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook 1 chopped onion, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 diced celery stalks, and 1 diced green bell pepper until soft and translucent, about 15 minutes.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 2 teaspoons of cumin, 1 teaspoon of oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper until well combined.
Add 2 cups of beef broth, 1/4 cup of tomato paste, and 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until the keto chili is thickened and reduced.
Serve the keto Chili with some shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro if desired.

Keto Tortillas

Tortillas are a versatile and convenient bread that can be used to make wraps, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more. But they are also made with wheat flour or corn, which are high in carbs and gluten. To make keto tortillas, you need to use a low-carb alternative like almond flour or coconut flour and some psyllium husk powder to give them elasticity and flexibility. Here is a recipe for keto tortillas that has only 2 grams of net carbs per tortilla:

In a large bowl, whisk 1 cup of almond flour, 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Add 3/4 cup of boiling water and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Place a ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin circle about 8 inches in diameter.
Repeat with the remaining dough and stack the tortillas with parchment paper in between.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with some oil or butter.
Cook keto tortillas at a time for about 1 minute per side or until lightly browned and cooked through.
Transfer to a plate and keep warm until ready to use the Keto Tortillas .

Keto Crockpot

Crockpot meals are a great way to make delicious and tender dishes with minimal effort and time. But they can also contain high-carb ingredients like potatoes, carrots, rice, pasta, or sauces. To make keto crockpot meals, use low-carb alternatives like cauliflower, radishes, zucchini, spaghetti squash, or cheese sauces. You can also add some herbs and spices to enhance the flavor and aroma of your dishes. Here are some examples of keto crockpot meals that you can try:

Keto Crockpot Chicken and Broccoli: Place 4 chicken breasts, 1/4 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of chicken broth, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 2 teaspoons of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper in a crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.

Repeat with two more layers of ham, cheese mixture, and mozzarella cheese. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours. Cut into slices and serve.

Keto Granola

Granola is a crunchy and nutty cereal that is great for breakfast or a snack. But it is also made with oats, honey, and dried fruits, which are high in carbs and sugar. To make keto granola, you need to use low-carb nuts and seeds like almonds, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and a natural sweetener like erythritol or stevia. You can also add some sugar-free chocolate chips or coconut flakes to make your granola more delicious. Here is a recipe for keto granola that has only 3 grams of net carbs per serving:
