Alternative Ingredients and Instructions for This Low Carb Soup

You love tomato soup but not a fan of canned soup? Try out this absolutely delicious keto soup that's definitely a keeper. If you want to give it a little twist to make it your own, here are some alternatives that you can use:

You can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead of water and blend until you've reached your desired consistency. Add a bit of coconut milk if it's not creamy enough but note that it will increase the soup's carb count.

Fresh basil works perfect for this recipe (dried basil is fine too). Feel free to play with different herbs and spices such as Herbs de Provence, bay leaf, a dash of garlic powder or onion powder, red curry paste etc. Whatever fits your taste buds!

• You can substitute heavy cream with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or even cream cheese but the subs can change the total net carbs.
• If you don't have a blender, use a potato masher. The result will be chunkier but you'll still have a delicious soup!
• If you like the tomato flavor and want to intensify it, tomato paste is your go-to ingredient. It will also add to the creamy texture that we're looking for.
• Remember to discard the skins if you opt for fresh tomatoes. Try to avoid store bought tomato sauce as its ingredients may not be good for keto diet.
• Most people prefer San Marzano tomatoes. However, Roma tomatoes are also a good alternative especially for their paste-like texture.
