Low Carb Lasagna Soup

We've found ourselves DEEP in soup mode in this household, and we're all just loving it. Lasagna soup is always a hit, along with white chicken chili and gumbo. It's lasagna in soup form, and it DELIVERS.

I really feel like fall has arrived much too soon, but one good things about that is fall gardening, and wanting to eat warm food again. Having 3 weeks out of every month in May – September be at or above 90F really took a toll on us this year.

How To Make Lasagna Soup:

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: I always make this as a 1-pan recipe, so grab your stock paot or dutch oven and brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, seasoning with salt and pepper. Drain off the excess grease and remove from the pot.
  2. Cook Onion & Garlic: In that same large pot, lower to medium heat, add some avocado oil or olive oil, then sauté the diced onion for 5 minutes, until it starts to become translucent. Add in the garlic and sauté for another minute or two.
  3. Stir In Remaining Ingredients. Add tomato paste, sauce, italian herbs, beef broth or bone broth and return ground beef to the pot and stir well.

4. Add Keto Noodles: Hearts of palm lasagna noodles are going to be the most authentic shape, for the for the best taste and texture, I suggest lupin flour noodles – any shape will work! Bring the soup to a boil then add in your noodles. Reduce to medium-low heat and stir occasionally until noodles are ready to eat, then stir in fresh spinach, if using.

5. Stir Together Cheese To Serve: in a small bowl, combine parmesan cheese and ricotta cheese. To serve, top each bowl of soup with some of the cheese mixture. Serve topped with fresh basil, if desired.

Consider These Other Keto Soups:

  • Cheeseburger Soup
  • Gumbo
  • Broccoli Chicken, Cheese Soup
  • Chicken Tortilla Soup
  • White Chicken Chili
  • Beef Stew

Slow Cooker, Freezing, and Storing Instructions

Slow Cooker: to prepare ahead of time in the slow cooker, brown the ground beef, onions, and garlic in a separate pan, then prepare the soup through step 3 and leave on low. Wait to add the noodles until about 20-30 minutes before serving, and put the slow cooker on high. Serve as per the instructions. I don't recommend making this soup in the Instant Pot, either under pressure or using slow cooker mode.

Storage: store keto lasagna soup in the refrigerator, in a tightly covered dish for up to 4 days.

Freezing: The best way to freeze in individual portions: place a dollop of the cheese mixture on top of each portion, freeze separately, and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Each individual serving will have 7 net carbs, if you like to label things that way. To freeze a bulk batch, freeze the cheese mixture separate, and store both in airtight containers for up to 3 months.

Reheating From Frozen: That either bulk or single-serve portions of low carb lasagna soup in the refrigerator, then reheat on the stovetop.

Broccoli Chicken, Cheese Soup

Lasagna Soup Recipe Variations:

Protein: ground turkey, italian sausage, or a mix of ground beef and ground pork all work very well in this recipe.

Tomato Sauce: you can substitute marinara sauce for the tomato sauce but you'll want to cut the herbs in the recipe in half, since marinara is already seasoned with italian seasoning.

Noodles: lupin flour noodles are my favorite BUT shirataki noodles, great low carb noodles, hearts of palm, zucchini noodles, and many other noodles will work.

Other Keto Lasagna Recipes:

  • Zucchini Lasagna
  • Taco Lasagna

Readers love that this almond flour pie crust recipe is made with basic ingredients:

  • Butter: melted, grass-fed butter is best. I usually use unsalted, but salted will work just as well.
  • Almond Flour: I always use the same brand, since every brand of almond flour is just a bit different. Other almond flours will work too, just may require a bit more butter or a bit more almond flour to get just the right consistency.
  • Low Carb Sweetener: I'll always use Baking Sweetener or Allulose to bake with. Both have an exceptionally low glycemic index, and cook and bake nearly identical to sugar. If you choose to sub a different sweetener, your results from this recipe may be different.
  • Salt: a pinch of a good quality sea salt is perfect. I don't count this in the ingredients 🙂

As always, having certain supplies on hand in the kitchen will make this recipe simpler, although many substitutions can be made for the exact items I used.

Tips For Making the Best Keto Pie Crust

For a savory pie crust, leave out the sweetener, combine and bake as above.

If you don't want to mix by hand, a stand mixer, hand mixer, or even a food processor will save your hands and mix it quite well.

If using cold butter, use a food processor to mix. This will save your hands and cut in the butter effectively. If you don't have a food processor and are using cold butter, use a pastry cutter to effectively mix the dry ingredients and butter.

Always prebake keto pie crusts. They do best when they're already firm before filling.

High Protein Keto Cheesecake

I'm always looking for quick, easy recipes to help me eat enough protein.

So anytime I can sneak some extra protein in my day with foods that still taste good, I'm going to do it!

I try to keep my carbs in check, so I've used ingredients that are all keto-friendly and low carb.

And even though it's low carb, this protein cheesecake packs 52 (!!) grams of protein! And no added sugars!

{For full instructions and ingredient amounts, scroll down to the recipe card}

You'll only need a few ingredients to make this:

Plain Greek Yogurt – Makes the dessert thick, like cheesecake and also adds a lot of protein! I like the Oikos Pro Plain Greek Yogurt, since each cup as 25 grams of protein and only 6 grams of carbs. There are lots of greek yogurts on the market, but we tend to stick with full fat options rather than fat free ingredients.

Whipped Cream Cheese – choose the unsweetened kind. Can choose fat free cream cheese if keeping fat macro low.

Vanilla Whey Protein – can also choose and unflavored whey if you prefer things less sweet.

Vanilla Keto Pudding Mix – Simply Delish Sugar Free Pudding Mix is my pick for keto pudding. It's not perfect, but the macros and ingredients are the best I've found.

Pasta is such an easy and delicious meal, and my family loves it, but it's a bit tricky on a keto diet.

Occasionally, we'll make real pasta, but I cannot handle it very often. It leads to lots of blood sugar issues and cravings for me.

Thankfully, there are several really high quality pasta substitutes on the market on that taste great, are high in protein, and low in carbs.

Low Carb Pasta Substitutes

My go-to for low carb pasta is lupin flour pasta, readily available on Amazon. I wrote an entire article about the best keto pasta substitutes that gives ALL the options.

The Best Low Carb Pasta Alternatives

Other pasta substitutes can be found below:

  • Cauliflower: holds up well to sauces and baking. Can be found in nearly every grocery store, and is exceptionally low in carbs and high in fiber.
  • Other Vegetables: spiralized zucchini noodles, butternut squash, broccoli, etc.
  • Lupin Flour Pasta: the closest pasta sub I've found. The prices, macros, and texture are quite good. There are also many brands to choose from.
  • Almond Flour Pasta: drier than lupin flour pasta, but high in protein, low in carbs.
  • Gluten Pasta: made from vital wheat glute, and WILL trigger anyone with a gluten allergy or sensitivity, these pastas taste the best, but because gluten makes my skin unhappy I steer away from these.

My pick for lupin flour pasta is Kaizen Pasta, which can be found here.

For The Pasta:

Lupin Flour Pasta: I have several brands to choose from linked in my Storefront. If you prefer, you can choose a hearts of palm, almond flour, or wheat gluten pasta.

Salt: always salt your pasta water with a good quality sea salt. Just a pinch!

For The Tomato Sauce with Meat:

Ground Beef: a grass-fed ground beef is my go-to for the sauce, but grain fed is just fine, as is ground chicken, ground turkey, or italian sausage.

Sugar Free Marinara: I love the $1.99 Organic marinara from Aldi. Rao's is also good, and I believe Newman's Own has a sugar free marinara sauce as well. No need to break the bank on the sauce!

Garlic Powder: Measure with your heart

Italian Seasoning: Just to add a bit flavor to the casserole.

Extras:

Blended Cottage Cheese: takes the place of ricotta cheese, with more protein!

Mozzarella Cheese: we want a serious cheese pull in this casserole, and this gives that.

Egg: helps bind the blended cottage cheese

How To Make Keto Baked Ziti

Start by cooking the pasta according to the directions on the box, until they reach the perfect texture.

Drain, rinse, and set aside.

Then, blend the cottage cheese in a large bowl, mix in the egg and some garlic powder.

Third, make the meat sauce by first browning over medium-high heat in a large skillet and draining the ground beef. Add in garlic and italian seasoning, followed by the marinara and let sit over medium heat until the sauce starts to simmer.

To assemble the low carb baked ziti, first preheat the oven to 375 and grease a 13 inch oven-safe dish with avocado or olive oil.

Place 1/2 of the paste in the bottom of the large baking dish, then top it with half of the meat sauce.

Dollop half of the ricotta or cottage cheese and egg mixture on top of the sauce the spread in a single layer, followed by half the parmesan cheese.

Add another layer of pasta, followed by the rest of the meat sauce, then the blended cottage cheese, and sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheese (the best part!) on top.

Bake at 375 for 20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and melty.

Low Carb Goulash

Keto goulash is comfort food in a bowl.

This American style goulash features macaroni noodles, seasoned tomato sauce, ground beef, and cheese for the perfect recipe if your family eat high-protein meals.

Instead of noodles made from wheat, this keto goulash recipe uses lupin flour noodles, which are high in protein and fiber. They can be found on Amazon, in my storefront.

Bell Pepper – diced bell peppers of your choosing, for making our own sauce for the goulash

Onion – chopped. also to simmer with our homemade sauce

Diced Tomatoes – 14oz can of diced tomatoes, another component of our sauce. The higher the quality, the better.

Tomato Paste – for a heartier sauce

Beef Broth – I love making my own beef bone broth for the hit of nutrients. Off the shelf works just fine as well, you can find my picks for gut-boosting premade bone broths here.

Garlic Paste – minced garlic will work as well.

Shredded Cheddar Cheese – to make this truly American style traditional goulash, it has to have Cheese, right?

Worcestershire Sauce – adds tons of flavor

Dijon Mustard – Also for flavor. Trust me.

How To Make Keto Goulash

Finish with cheese – stir in the shredded cheese until melted and serve warm.

Low Carb Goulash Alterations

The nutrition facts below after the recipe card reflect the macros as the recipe is written.

Keto goulash is very forgiving in that you can make lots of changes to it and still have it taste great, BUT that will change the macros.

Less Protein – we really love a meaty goulash, but if you prefer more noodle and less meat feel free to use 1 pound of ground beef instead of 2

Different Protein – any ground protein would work: turkey, chicken, pork, bison, etc.

Noodle Swap – if lupin flour noodles aren't your thing, give these a try: zucchini, squash, sweet potato, or shirataki noodles.

Change up the sauce – if you have a favorite sauce recipe you love, then feel free to use that! Just keep the volume of liquid the same, so the noodles cook correctly.

Storing, Freezing, and Reheating Tips

Keto recipes like this one make amazing meal prep because they reheat well. Here's how to store, reheat, and freeze this recipe:

  • Store – leftovers should be store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze – in an airtight container, with as much air removed as possible. The noodles hold up ok in the freezer, but it's not my favorite way to store.
  • Reheat – in the microwave, air fryer or stovetop. Top with fresh cheese.
