Low-Carb Beef Queso Soup

January 8, 2018 by Faith 3 Comments

Low-Carb Beef Queso Soup is rich, cheesy, and packed with flavor and nutrition.

Since I’ve started eating low-carb more frequently, I’ve noticed it’s the least restrictive way of eating I’ve ever practiced. The focus turns to quality over quantity and it’s not about what you can’t eat, but what you can.

Non-starchy vegetables, grass-fed meat and dairy, and healthy fats all satiate in a way that only real food can. And also, I’ve found that no matter what I’m craving, it’s not all that hard to remake it into a keto version of itself.

Take queso, for example. That melty, gooey cheesy goodness that’s usually made with things I don’t even want to know about (you know that highly processed bright orange concoction they pass off as “cheese”!), let alone put into my body. But you know how darn good it tastes.

I was craving queso and knew it wouldn’t be hard to come up with something that’s as nutritious as it is tasty, as well as keto-friendly.

This recipe makes a huge pot of soup, which makes it perfect for any type of gathering. It’s a crowd-pleaser too; hearty and satisfying man food, but ladies, let’s be real, we love queso just as much as any guy. The spice level is low enough that it’s kid-friendly too, but you can adjust the heat up if you want.

Because it’s somewhat similar to chili, I think this soup would be great to serve for the Super Bowl, and you could even set up a little toppings bar with things like chopped lettuce, cilantro, sliced jalapenos, sour cream, etc.

Make this for your next party and see if anyone guesses it’s low-carb!
