7 Low-Carb Soup Recipes To Help You Lose Weight

The Tomato Tart

It’s the start of the new year, which means it’s time for you to start eating healthy and finally lose that extra weight. It’s great to have that goal in mind, but knowing what you should actually eat to lose weight can be tricky. Well since it’s winter, you might as well start with soup. It’s light, it’s comforting, and you can load it up with all sorts of healthy goodies that can help you reach your goals.

But, if you load up your soup with pasta and rice, the carbs and calories skyrocket. The solution? Low-carb soups! Here are seven low-carbohydrate soup recipes that are as tasty as they are healthy.

1. Vegan Carrot Soup With Caramelized Onion

This soup is not only low-carb, but it’s vegan, gluten-free and paleo, which means it’s suitable for any diet. This creamy soup is made with carrots, potatoes, vegetable stock and some optional herbs and garnishes. Carrots never tasted better!

Load up on protein with this soothing salmon chowder. It’s loaded with vegetables, including leeks, celery, rutabaga and celeriac, and it’s cooked with coconut milk, making it a lighter option than your traditional cream-based chowder.

3. Low-Carb Pho

Pho is usually viewed as an indulgent treat, but this low-carb version is guilt-free. Instead of rice noodles, this recipe uses shirataki noodles instead—which means zero carbs for these noodles. This soup still includes all the usual fixings, so it’s filled with an abundance of flavor.
