This keto zucchini soup is light and refreshing, yet creamy. It's a soup perfect for summer with a great flavour kick of lemon.
I normally use onions as a base to my soup but have not used them in this recipe to keep the carbs nice and low. Making soup is a great way to use up all of those left over summer zucchini's too. The lemon goes so well with this and the texture of the soup is just right (well for my tastes). Simple to make and delicious to eat - huzzah!
Making keto zucchini soup
For the soup stock you can use either chicken or vegetable. If you are reaching for a stock cube read the ingredients to check that there are no hidden sugars.
Adjust to taste for the lemon. I've made a batch before and the lemon seemed extra tart. I added a tablespoon of erythritol to balance this.
