    Mushroom soup.

    I make this in a one serving size.

    200 grams mushrooms coarsely chopped.
    1 tsp butter.

    Saute


    Add 1 cup water
    1 tsp bouillion
    1/4 cup cream

    Add liquids to pan of mushroom, let cook 5 minutes on low heat.

    Serve.

    Made this and it is AMAZING.

    It's 10 net carbs, so keto people might have some issues depending on your carb ceiling. Perfect for low carbers tho.

    I made this yesterday, it is delicious!
    I subbed puréed roasted cauliflower instead of the HWC, and used a full can of kraut.

    I make beef stew! And cheese rolls!
    I modify fathead dough to make 12 rolls. I use a stick of butter instead of any cream cheese, I add some non-fed yeast in 2 tbls warm water. I also add two tbls xanthum gum to increase the texture/hold. So they don't collapse. Lastly, I salt and flavor (garlic, onion, oregano, etc) the almond flour till it is nice and flavorful! It makes an amazing roll! I'll be typing up the complete recipe soon and starting a blog. I'll post when I've done it.

    My beef stew is a topical beef stew. Beef bone broth, 1 pound browned beef stew meat with some onion. I flavor the meat with salt and pepper and garlic before sautéing. I add a can of diced tomatoes, then the bone broth, bring to a boil and simmer on low for a few hours. About one hour before serving, I add my veggies and check the level of broth. Add more broth (and salt/pepper if needed). Veggies I love to use are radishes (sliced in round thick slices and it mimics potatoes! Just trust me! Mushrooms in big chunks, celary, carrots-very small amount but cut in big chunks for color and look! If you can't afford the carbs, omit them! I also add some green onion for a pretty and tasty garnish! Oh and if you want, thicken some HWC on the stove, above 1/4 cup, and add to thicken the stew!

    This sounds AMAZING!! I think I will make this with only 1 can of rotel in order to cut a few more carbs out and also use my own taco seasoning! I make Taco season to cut out all the sodium and msg and added carbs!

    Please share your homemade taco seasoning recipe. :)

    I buy rotisserie chicken whenever I'm feeling lazy. After Henny Penny has given up all her meat, I turn her into the world's richest chicken broth by putting her into a slow cooker, (bones, skin and all), adding enough water to cover her bottom two thirds, throwing in an onion or two for flavor and simmering overnight. Strain and either use within a day or so or freeze for future use in single serving size.

    Note that I don't buy rotisserie chickens all that often. Whatever goes into making them so tasty is a mystery and the carb count is unknown. It may be a young ton of brown sugar for all we know.

    @mandycat223 here's the ingred. for Costco's rotisserie chicken: ( :/ ) https://savingadvice.com/articles/2015/06/11/1034643_costco-rotisserie-chicken-healthy.html
    Also although this is Dr. Oz, this clip is very informative and not 'woo-woo'. BTW, 'The Dorito Effect' is a very interesting book. doctoroz.com/episode/truth-about-rotisserie-chicken

    Hmmm, while we're long-time Costco members, our nearest warehouse is now some 60 miles away, so we only make the trek every other month or so. When I buy a rotisserie chicken it's either at Publix (where I assume the health stats are roughly similar to Costco's offering) or Sam's Club (where I assume the health stats are roughly similar to arsenic.) Thanks for the info.

    ½ cup heavy whipping cream

    salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    With a spoon mash the cream cheese into the ground beef so that it will combine smoothly as it melts.

    You can also add shredded cheese and sour cream to each bowl of soup.

    Thanks for sharing this, it sounds so delicious. I bought everything I need to make it, well actually I only needed to buy the Rotel. Making it today, but I'm subbing shredded taco chicken because I had some to use up. Can't wait to try it.

    my daughter was sick and is on SCD diet [similar to keto]...anyway she really wanted chicken noodle soup. I used rice cauliflower. Chicken broth. Water. Celery. Chicken. Various spices. She enjoyed. I did add carrots for her but you can omit for Keto.

    @KetoZombies I am literally salivating at the thought of that!! Do you find the beef stays mixed in ok or does it tend to sink? I'm wondering if I should consider blending some or most of the beef?

    Also, silly question for someone from the UK..... what is the UK equivalent of heavy whipping cream?

    Double cream i believe

    Made this soup, but subbed shredded taco chicken that I already had and wanted to use up and then use chicken broth. It was fabulous!!
    I can't wait to try it with the ground beef.

    My favorite go-to soup is:
    Beef Vegetable: {6-quart crockpot}
    2lb browned and drained ground beef
    2 cans basil, garlic oregano diced tomatoes
    2 cans mixed veggies (do not drain)
    3.5-4 tbsp beef bouillon powder
    2 tsp black pepper
    Water to cover
    Add all ingredients to the crockpot except water. Mix well to incorporate the powdered bouillon Add water to cover. Bring to a boil in the crockpot then turn to low for a few more hours. I have no clue as to what the carb count is, so I only make it occasionally. I think I am going to exchange the can veggies for frozen ones to omit the potatoes.

    Yum! I love soup and have been thinking about how to low-carb it. Don’t know what I’m going to do without my beans! I love any kind of soup with a ham shank in it. What you posted above sounds so amazing, I’m definitely going to try that.

    Eden Organic Black SOYbeans have become a choice for some of us. The taste and texture is similar to a pinto bean IMO. Locally, only Publix seems to stock them though you might find them in stores in your area. Also available on-line. Check out their Nutrition label on line and see if it fits your woe. Very low carb compared to standard type legumes.

    Avgolemono. omit the rice/orzo pasta pieces. Add no-carb rice if you must, but this soup is just delicious.
