Let’s face it—the keto diet is pretty restrictive. The upside is that while you can't eat carbs, you can have plenty of hearty meats, cream and cheese, which means digging into warm, comforting bowls of soup. Many recipes are loaded with rich and creamy ingredients typically avoided by dieters, but these decadent options are perfect for people following a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet.
For those new to the popular ketogenic diet, the main premise is to burn fat instead of carbohydrates, a process known as ketosis. Most dieters eat plenty of fat, like butter, cheese and beef, but limit carbohydrates to 20-30 grams of per day. Keep yourself warm this winter with six keto soup recipes that are low in carbs but high in flavor.
