Creamy Keto Taco Soup – It’s almost Spring and I’m dreaming of all vegetables that will be in season soon, but for now the weather still calls for soup. This creamy taco soup is really easy to make and perfect for these last days of winter. If you are whole30, paleo, or don’t want to do dairy, just switch the cream cheese out for coconut cream!
Don’t forget the toppings. My favorites are pickled onions, sour cream, cilantro and lime. You could add shredded cheese, cotija cheese, jalapenos, avocado, and Pico de Gallo. We have a great pickled jalapeno recipe that would be excellent on top.
Is Creamy Taco Soup Keto?
Yes – this Creamy taco soup is keto. It makes about 12 servings, and each serving is 7g of carbs.
By the way, I absolutely love keto soups. They are so easy to make, tasty, and filling! Also I love that you make a batch and you can eat it for several meals too.

- 2 lbs. ground beef
- 1 tbsp. avocado oil
- 3 tsp oregano
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
