A keto zucchini soup with the addition of a strong Stilton cheese makes a creamy soup for winter when your taste buds need a lift.
I love making soups as they are so easy to make! Even the Chief Taster can cope with making a soup too! If he can make this, anyone can! Easy and delicious! What more could you ask for! The result is a delicious creamy zucchini soup with a tang of Stilton!
Stilton soup is normally associate with broccoli, but I thought I would try something else and had a bunch of zucchini in my fridge, and thought "well, they are green so therefore a substitute for broccoli". They give the soup a lovely creamy consistency and went very well with the Stilton.
Is zucchini keto friendly?
Zucchini is a great low carb vegetable and has 2g net carbs per 100g serving. It's slightly lower than cauliflower that is the poster vegetable for low carb!
Zucchini is also as versatile as cauliflower and can be made into pizza bases, bread, cakes. Enjoy it in a gratin or try our zucchini rings.
How to make zucchini soup
Soup is an easy and simple recipe and this keto zucchini soup recipe does not disappoint. Cook the vegetables, simmer in stock and add cheese. Blend and enjoy!
We have not added any additional seasons or herbs because the Stilton has a strong flavour.
The Ingredients
- Zucchini - Choose firm and ripe.
- Onion
- Garlic
- Vegetable/Chicken Stock
- Stilton cheese - Stilton cheese is preferable but a blue cheese could be used.
Recipe Tips
If Stilton is too strong for you, substitute it with Cheddar for a smoother cheese soup.
When cooked and blended zucchini makes a creamy soup. The cheese could be omitted for a cream of zucchini soup. Add a dash of heavy cream for taste.

Thanks Angela. We just had the soup for lunch - nice. Made heaps of it as I managed to grow a heap of zucchinis in the garden. Also added a bit of broccoli my wife was throwing out as well as some Chard from the garden. Hence made a big amount. I should've increased the amount of Blue Cheese more. Last week, I made a fennel soup as had a massive one in the garden. Only saw your recipes today though.

Hi David! Nothing better than homemade soup. You are lucky to have homegrown zucchinis. Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
