3 Reasons Why This Keto Taco Soup Is So Healthy
Who knew something so crave-worthy could be beneficial for your health as well? This is truly keto cooking as its finest. Here are just three of those note-worthy health benefits:
- Heart healthy cooking oils. I use extra virgin olive oil as much as possible because it’s loaded with heart healthy monounsaturated fatty acids and disease fighting antioxidants. (1)
- Disease preventing herbs and spices. Since this taco soup is made with such a fantastic mixture of herbs and spices, you’re also gaining their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits as well. (2)
- Excellent source of protein and fats. The lean ground beef gives your body a ton of fuel thanks to all of the protein and saturated fat that it provides. A single serving of this soup offers up 15.8 grams of fat and 28.1 grams of protein!
How Long Does Crockpot Taco Soup Keep For?
As long as you keep the keto-friendly taco soup stored inside airtight containers, it will stay good in the fridge for a few days. The good news is that this soup also happens to freeze amazingly well.
I like to divide it up amongst a few freezer-safe containers to freeze individually. Then I have the option to thaw out one at a time or several at once for the whole family.
