This Keto Creamy Avocado Soup supports the keto lifestyle in several powerful ways:
Why This Recipe Works for Keto:
High in Healthy Fats:
Avocados, coconut milk (or heavy cream), and olive oil provide a rich source of monounsaturated and saturated fats, which are essential for staying in ketosis and fueling your body with fat instead of carbs.
Low Net Carbs (Only ~3g per serving):
Thanks to fiber-rich ingredients like avocado and minimal high-carb content, this soup keeps net carbs low—ideal for maintaining ketosis.
Nutrient Dense:
Avocados are packed with potassium, magnesium, and folate—nutrients that are often lacking on a keto diet and critical for electrolyte balance and muscle function.
Anti-Inflammatory Spices:
Cumin and smoked paprika not only add deep flavor but also support digestion and reduce inflammation—both important on a keto regimen.
Satiety and Blood Sugar Control:
The combination of fats and fiber promotes long-lasting fullness, reduces hunger, and helps stabilize blood sugar, reducing the chances of snacking or cravings.
Flexible and Easy to Pair:
This soup can be enjoyed warm or chilled, served with keto crackers, cheese crisps, or protein sides like grilled chicken or boiled eggs—making it perfect for meal prep or macro-adjusted meals.
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
1 ½ cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
½ cup full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream
2 tbsp lime juice (fresh)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ cup chopped onion (or green onion for milder flavor)
½ tsp cumin
¼ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: sliced radishes, crispy bacon, cilantro, sour cream, diced cucumber
Instructions:
Sauté aromatics: In a small skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add onion and garlic; cook until soft and translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Blend base: In a blender, add avocados, sautéed onion/garlic, chicken broth, lime juice, cumin, paprika, and coconut milk. Blend until silky smooth.
Heat the soup: Pour blended mixture into a saucepan and heat gently over medium-low until warm (do not boil).
Season: Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Ladle into bowls and top with your choice of garnish.
Serving Tips:
Serve warm or chilled depending on your mood or the season.
Great paired with a side of keto crackers or a fresh cucumber salad.
