About
Following an Eco-Keto diet plan doesn’t mean you’ll be missing out on big flavors. Getting creative with cooking your vegetables can make a huge difference in taste. This roasted zucchini and mushroom soup is smokey, creamy, and delicious. It is proof that you can prepare easy Keto recipes that are also healthy and hearty.
This recipe starts by broiling zucchini and onions in the oven. Using mushrooms in your meals adds a subtle meaty flavor while still keeping it vegetarian. For this soup, we have cooked the mushrooms in a saucepan on high heat without stirring, which gave it a dark golden color and elevated its flavor. These ingredients form the base of this low-carb soup; all that is left is adding some flavorings and cooking everything together.
Some other crucial steps include blending all the elements and adding coconut milk. This results in a rich and silky-smooth soup. We also recommend topping the soup with walnuts or almonds to add some texture.
Can you add more vegetables?
Of course, the more variety you add, the better your Eco-Keto diet will be. Some great vegetable options that are great when roasted include red bell peppers, cauliflower, and broccoli. You can also add more aromatics and herbs to enrich your palate.
Is this recipe budget-friendly?
This soup is one of the most affordable Keto lunch recipes. Since it is very flexible, you can use vegetables in their season because they are the cheapest.
How can you increase the amount of protein in this recipe?
One of the reasons we have used mushrooms in this recipe is because of their high protein content. You can increase the mushrooms or add nuts and seeds since they are also high in protein.

- 150 g zucchini
- ¼ small onion
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
