How To Make Keto Taco Soup

• Sauté. Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté. When the indicator reads hot, add the ground beef, onions, and garlic. Break up the meat as much as possible. When the meat is no longer in a big clump, add the taco seasoning and salt, and cook for about 1 minute.

• Deglaze. Add ¼ cup of water and thoroughly deglaze the Instant pot liner.

• Add undrained tomatoes and remaining cup of water.

• Cook. Secure the lid on the pot. Set the Instant Pot at High pressure for 5 minutes. When cook time is complete, let pot release pressure naturally for 10 minutes, and then release all remaining pressure.

• Stir. Open the pot and stir in the whipping cream and cheese. Add more water if needed.

• Serve. Divide into four bowls, and top with sliced avocado and green onions, if using, right before serving.

Is Taco Soup Healthy?

One of my favorite things about this creamy soup recipe is that it's keto-friendly. Each serving has only 8 grams of carbs! It's also very customizable, and many of the ingredients are optional, so feel free to tweak the recipe to ensure that it meets your dietary needs.

How Many Carbs Does Taco Soup Have In It?

This Keto Taco Soup is a great option for a low carb lifestyle and can easily be fit into your daily macros. It has a total of 8 carbs per serving with a net carb count of 6 per serving.

How Long Is Taco Soup Good For?

When stored properly in an airtight food container, this low carb soup recipe should last about 3-5 days in the fridge. If you plan on freezing the soup, leave the heavy cream and cheese out and add it in when you reheat the soup.

Taco Soup Variations / Options

Variations

• Use ground chicken or ground turkey.
• Use chicken thighs rather than ground beef. Cook for 10 minutes under pressure. Remove chicken and shred, and then proceed as written from step 5.
• Substitute Rotel for diced tomatoes.
• Use 4 oz of diced cream cheese rather than whipping cream.
• Add chopped peppers, celery, and/or carrots along with the onions and meat.
• Use pepper jack cheese, or really any other easily melted cheese rather than cheddar.

NOTE: If you aren’t watching carbs, you can make the following changes:

• Add the canned beans and corn to the pot along with the tomatoes and proceed as directed. 
• Replace whipping cream with fat-free evaporated milk.
• Add ¼ cup arborio rice along with the tomatoes. Add 1.5 cups of water with the tomatoes and cook for 6 minutes High Pressure, 10 mins NPR. 
• There’s no reason you can’t add rice, beans, corn, AND additional vegetables to stretch that meat a little more.
