Give this keto dill pickle soup a try! It tastes just like a loaded potato soup, with turnips and dill pickles in a creamy broth – all topped with crispy bacon!
Are Turnips Keto
Yes, turnips are ok on the keto diet, in moderation. Let’s look at the nutrition facts. There are 5.8 grams of net carbs in one medium turnip. Since I used turnips in this soup, there are 6 grams net carbs in each serving.
If you want to cut the carb count down lower you can replace the turnips with cauliflower florets. They are much lower in carbs.
I like the mild flavor of turnips. This root vegetables really does replace potatoes on the keto diet. They have similar color and texture. Remember to peel the turnips before you chop them up and add them to the soup.
Dill Pickle Soup
I bet this recipe title got your attention! You really can cook with dill pickles! They end up tasting like cooked celery when you add them to soup. The dill pickles add tangy notes to the soup, bringing out the earthy flavors in the onion and celery that you added to it as well.
If you leave the bacon out of the soup, this will become a vegetarian soup! If you want to make it vegan, use coconut cream instead of sour cream and vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and coconut oil instead of butter.
Low-Carb Dill Pickle Soup
Save yourself time in the kitchen by doing all your food prep days ahead of time. Store the chopped onion, celery, carrots, and turnips in separate airtight container in the refrigerator.
This is a delicious way to eat more vegetables. Sometimes roasted or steamed vegetables get boring. This soup is packed with healthy veggies that are good for your gut and overall health.
Don’t forget about the fresh dill for the garnish! Not only does it show off the dill flavors beautifully, but it will add more dill aromas to your table too.
What To Eat With Soup
It seems like soups and sandwiches are the perfect combination, especially if you want a light but filling lunch. Serve this dill pickle soup with some keto ham and cheese chaffle sticks.
Or use plain chaffle bread to build your favorite sandwich with whatever deli meat and cheese that you want.
How Long Does Soup Last In The Fridge
This soup will last about three days in the refrigerator. Store it in an airtight container that is also spill-proof.
