2 Useful Tips To Keep In Mind When Cooking Keto Soups

Here are a couple of general tips to keep in mind when it comes to cooking keto approved soups:

Don’t forget the protein. While it’s obviously essential to ensure you’re including plenty of quality dietary fat sources as part of your keto diet, it’s equally as important to also make sure that you’re getting enough protein. This particular keto soup recipe uses chicken, but there are all kinds of other keto approved options that will work just as well in your soup recipes; don’t be afraid to experiment!
Include a variety of veggies. Dietary fat and protein might be the 2 main macros that keto dieters are interested in but it’s also important to include all of the necessary micronutrients that your body requires in your diet. With that in mind, including a variety of fresh vegetables in your soup recipes is a great way to provide your body with those essential vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting antioxidants.
