Whether you are eating low-carb, gluten-free, or a keto diet, this crock pot low-carb taco soup is sure to leave all loving it regardless of if you are on a diet or not. Keto Taco soup combines hamburger or sausage, cream cheese, and Rotel with seasoning and breath for a low-carb Mexican meal. This soup is literally like queso dip you can eat with a spoon without judgment.
I love easy recipes that don’t take a ton of steps, dishes or hard to find ingredients. I think this is why I was drawn to a simple taco soup. This crock pot low carb taco soup needs five simple ingredients and a few hours simmering to give you an amazing soup for lunch or supper.
Crock Pot Low-Carb Taco Soup
Five ingredients. Well, five if you lump spices into one ingredient. Here is the thing with this soup, use the seasonings you like. But here is the base ingredients.
Start with browning sausage. We used a combination of hot sausage as well as ground pork. You can easily use breakfast sausage in this or even ground beef. While the meat is browning, fill your crock pot with cream cheese, Rotel and taco seasonings of your choice. When it comes to taco seasonings, I made up my own with garlic salt, adobo seasoning, and chipotle pepper powder. You could use just taco seasoning in your meat like you are making tacos. However, check the carb count if you are a carb counter!
Mix the browned meat into the cheese, Rotel, and seasoning and spices you had to a crock pot set to high. Stir to combine and then pour in chicken broth. You may want to add a little broth at a time to determine how thin you like your soup. Cook on high for two to three hours or low for four to six hours.
As one of my friends who tried this recipe said, it is like a soupy queso! Seriously, does life get any better than eating queso with a spoon and getting away with it. Besides being full of cream cheese, I went ahead and topped with shredded cheese and stirred in some dried cilantro before serving. If you have fresh cilantro, feel free to use fresh too. If you have people not trying to be low-carb, go ahead and let them use tortilla chips too.
Go ahead and make yourself a bowl of crock pot low-carb taco soup. You won’t regret it!

May 31, 2017 at 1:00 pmThe Taco Soup is SOOOO good! Thanks!
John Snow says
November 10, 2017 at 3:14 pmExplain to me how this is “Low Carb”. I can promise you if you eat this you’ll get dat….
Megan F says
November 12, 2017 at 11:34 pmYou must not know a lot about carbohydrates sir. You can lose weight by cutting carbs and eating fat if you know what you’re doing. This is a low carb soup because it doesn’t have the beans, corn, etc which are all high carb veggies. It sounds delicious. Thanks for posting. I can’t wait to try it.
Not Jon snow says
January 2, 2018 at 11:07 pmA more accurate reply would be “You know nothing Jon Snow.”
Connie says
April 1, 2018 at 10:33 pmOmg! Epic reply!!
Haley M says
January 20, 2018 at 11:15 amI think he’s saying it’s really delicious which is why it’s not low carb because you can’t help yourself from having multiple servings!
Koren says
December 9, 2017 at 8:16 pmI made this soup tonight and it was absolutely delicious!!!! I did not add cilantro because I didn’t have any. I used 2 lbs hamburger, organic taco seasoning, I used 1 can chicken and 1 can beef broth because that’s what I had on hand. If you are looking for an easy Keto soup this is easy and delicious
.
Becky says
November 13, 2018 at 1:41 pmI’m glad to hear it was good with chicken and beef broth (I didn’t have enough chicken broth on hand). It’s in the Crock-Pot now and smells wonderful!
Jaime says
March 9, 2019 at 8:36 pmHow much did you consider a serving? A cup? Need to know for macros. That 547 is steep and want to make sure I understand.
Mickie says
April 19, 2019 at 6:26 pmJaime, it says it makes 8 servings so I would divide it by 8 and then you will have your answer. 🙂
Jkarsberg says
January 2, 2018 at 12:21 pmIt’s low carb because there aren’t a lot of carbs in it. Don’t confuse low carb with low fat or low calorie
Shauna says
January 2, 2018 at 3:31 pmI have this in the croc pot now. And it seems too watery. Anyway I can fix this?
Leah says
January 2, 2018 at 10:08 pmIf you want some of the liquid to evaporate, have the lid partially off.
Heather says
January 7, 2018 at 2:56 pmAdd a cup or two of shredded cheddar! Actually, I just added a handful to my individual bowl of soup and it thickened it right up.
Lesli says
January 9, 2018 at 5:46 pmGround beef, onion, garlic, hot taco seasoning packet, salt pepper, can of tomatoes and a brick of cream cheese topped with shredded cheese and cilantro, delicious!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Jenny says
January 11, 2018 at 12:12 pmWhat is dat?
Stephany says
February 20, 2018 at 10:51 amHe meant fat
Alyssa says
January 15, 2018 at 2:09 pmWe made this last night and hands down t was amazing!!! Instead of hamburger meat I️ used pork sausage and it gave an extra kick my husband needed!
Sonya says
January 15, 2018 at 7:47 pmThis soup is absolutely delicious!!! I made it for dinner. No complaints from the family..
bradyn says
February 8, 2018 at 8:34 pmlol which ingredients have carbs?
Pam says
February 26, 2018 at 3:04 pmIf you look up each individual ingredient, you’ll see that yhey are low in carbs. The only difference is change is the ground beef since I perfer ground turkey. I’d add onion too.. the highest carb in the recipe are the tomatoes and since you only get about 1/8 cup worth in your bowl, it is low carb too…
Amanda says
March 25, 2018 at 2:07 pmIs 1/8 cup a serving?
BK says
October 11, 2018 at 5:12 pm1/8 c is 2tbsp. A serving is way more than 2 bites.
Becky says
November 13, 2018 at 1:47 pmI think Pam meant that there’s 1/4 cup of tomatoes in each serving.
Dj says
April 26, 2018 at 6:39 amOnion sounds like a great idea. You could also garnish it with some green onions! Queso fresco, would probably sub for cream cheese, right? Just a idea…
JJ says
March 16, 2018 at 8:02 amAwesome low carb soup. I like it spicy so I used pork sausage and the rotel with habaneros. It came out perfect.
Bob says
April 13, 2018 at 7:18 pmBwaaaahaaaa. You’re dumb
Bryan says
April 27, 2018 at 6:58 amFollowed this recipe exactly, ate the recommended serving, but it kicked me out of Ketosis and I haven’t been able to get back for a few days with this meal. (Confirmed using ketones test strips). REally delicious but not “Keto” as it claims.
Karen says
November 4, 2018 at 1:29 amStrips are unreliable. Why? Because if you are in ketosis, your body starts using ketones for fuel and when that happens there are fewer ketones in your urine….because your body used them for fuel. If you want an accurate way to track whether you are in ketosis, get a blood monitor. Urine strips don’t work…..you can be deep into ketosis and get a negative on them.
Stephanid says
May 7, 2018 at 3:09 pmMine did not come to 5 carbs. Maybe it’s the brand of cream cheese I bought. I didn’t buy the low fat version. I added up ‘the ingredients and it came to 8 carbs.
Nikki says
November 13, 2018 at 9:17 amNot all brands have the same number of carbs. Also, you should really use the full fat cream cheese if you are eating a keto diet. So far, I have found Philadelphia cream cheese to have the lowest carb count. Each recipe contributor does their best to give the most accurate numbers, but each of us should be vigilant about doing our own part for the best results. What a delicious recipe, though, right?!
Stephanie says
May 14, 2018 at 6:45 amCan you cook longer on low temperature? I need to cook it while at work
Lauren says
July 17, 2018 at 10:15 amHow big is a serving size?
Tanja says
October 19, 2018 at 9:21 amso why are you rating something 1 star if you haven’t tried it and you obviously don’t know anything about ‘low carb’? Please educate yourself before making negative comments
This recipe is fantastic. It tastes great, perfect for a cool fall night. I’ve made it many times!
Kat says
December 12, 2017 at 9:36 pmI made this for a picky eater, my elderly mother. She doesn’t like beef so I shredded some chicken. Two cans of Rotel would have been too spicy even the mild one so I use one mile can of Rotel and one of crushed fire roasted tomatoes and some mild green Chili’s. I did everything else exactly the same and it turned out wonderful
Leah says
December 21, 2017 at 6:34 amThis sounds so good!
Tracy says
January 2, 2018 at 6:30 pmWonder if I can put this together the night before then turn on in morning before work
Karen Znajda says
December 31, 2017 at 2:58 pmDid you drain the rotel?
Mickei says
April 19, 2019 at 6:31 pmIt’s soup, no need to drain the Rotel
Connie Brock says
April 8, 2018 at 2:24 pmIt is really good! I added extra onions while cooking the sausage. Also used 1 lb of hot sausage and 1 lb of regular sausage and just a little garlic power . It was a real hit!!
Dmaggi says
April 16, 2018 at 5:11 pmCan someone please tell me what the serving size is?
Dens says
August 26, 2018 at 6:07 pmLove this soup. Husnband remained keto on 2 bowls, he is diabetic so very important. No meds!
Mara says
June 6, 2017 at 8:46 amDo you have a list of the macros? Or maybe just the carb count per serving?
Amanda says
June 12, 2017 at 1:50 pmThat would all depend on brands you use I would believe. Not all are created equal.
Miranda says
June 14, 2017 at 9:46 amWhen you put this into My Fitness Pal using your specific ingredients it will give you nutrition values per serving. When I put it in using my ingredients, it says 8g of carbs, 436 calories, 69g of fat, and 27g of protein. The net carbs would be 6g — 8g of carbs – 1g of fiber.
Diane says
September 4, 2017 at 7:46 pmHow much is the servinng??..
Jenny Cobb Miller says
August 6, 2017 at 10:34 amThat would super helpful! I’m drooling over here 😉
Leah says
August 27, 2017 at 5:55 pmThere are 8 servings and 5 carbs per serving. I have added nutritional information above.
Diane says
September 9, 2017 at 1:46 pmHow many cups in a serving?
Ella says
January 29, 2018 at 12:02 pmHow many cups or ladles are in a serving? I made this yesterday and it was amazing!!
Jacquelyn says
February 19, 2018 at 12:09 pmWondering the Same thing!
I decided to do a cup and a half per serving but idk if that’s right
Becky says
June 17, 2018 at 2:07 pmI would like to know the serving size also. A cup? A cup and a half? I guess I’ll have to measure it out myself and figure it out, but it sure would be helpful if it were posted in the recipe for everyone to benefit from. Very tasty recipe.
Joyce says
June 23, 2017 at 9:13 pmThis is very yum I added 2 oz of broccoli and 2 ounces of califlower
Leah says
August 27, 2017 at 5:15 pmThat sounds amazing!
Mechelle says
October 7, 2017 at 2:21 pmCouls you add pasta to this ?
Pamela S Larcom says
October 8, 2017 at 4:43 pmNot and keep it low carb!
Brandi says
December 21, 2017 at 5:38 amWould gluten free pasta be low carb?
Leah says
December 21, 2017 at 6:33 amMost likely no. Gluten free pasta is usually made from corn or rice flour both of which will have carbs.
Kathy says
August 27, 2017 at 9:16 pmI bet stirring irised cauliflower at the very end would be great too!
Rhoni says
June 25, 2017 at 9:55 pmI didn’t have cilantro and made it anyway! DELICOUS!!
lisa wood says
July 5, 2017 at 7:07 pmhow many carbs in a bowl of this soup.thank you lisa wood

Amber says
July 16, 2017 at 7:07 pmHow many servings does this make? I made it but don’t know how to log the calories, thanks!
Swan says
July 18, 2017 at 3:34 pmHow much is one serving?
Leah says
August 27, 2017 at 5:12 pmOne cup is how measured a serving
Christine says
January 8, 2018 at 2:57 pmI’m definitely making this
Christy says
July 25, 2017 at 2:59 pmThis is delicious! I did not change the recipe at all. Note: I used Cooper brand cream cheese. I cut the pieces small, but it still Wasn’t fully melted after 2.5 hours on high. I used a whisk to stir, and wa-la…that did the trick. Will definitely make this again.
Brandi says
December 21, 2017 at 5:41 amDid you use 2 cream cheese? The recipe calls for 2, yet the video only showed one. Thanks in advance!
Leah says
December 21, 2017 at 6:32 amTwo, 8 ounce packages. The video made half the recipe to just show the process. Thanks for asking for clarification!
Taryn says
August 3, 2017 at 12:15 pmHow much is one serving of this soup?
Leah says
August 27, 2017 at 5:12 pmOne cup is a serving.
Jennifer says
January 31, 2019 at 12:49 pmhow many calories are in a bowl?
Lori says
August 10, 2017 at 2:55 amYour taco seasoning blend sounds good. What amounts of each did you mix together (how much garlic salt, how much ancho chili pepper and how much adobo seasoning) Thank You
James says
March 9, 2018 at 10:34 amCan’t find answer to taco seasoning recipe on amounts of garlic salt, adobo seasoning, and chipotle pepper powder. Could you please provide since I bought ingredients. Ready to make.
Robyn says
August 11, 2017 at 3:57 pmAmazing! Definitely a keeper!
Heather W says
August 13, 2017 at 2:26 pmDoes anyone know the service size?
Heather W says
August 13, 2017 at 2:27 pmI meant serving size.
Leah says
August 27, 2017 at 5:09 pmA serving size is one cup
Pamela S says
October 16, 2017 at 3:54 pmThe answer to that question has been posted no less than 5 times that a serving size is one cup!
Caitlyn Witt says
August 14, 2017 at 9:41 amHow do I make this soup thicker? It came out a bit watery.
TexasAngel says
August 16, 2017 at 1:30 pmI was looking thru comments to see if I should drain the juice from the rotel… your comment leads me to believe maybe I should?
Leah says
August 27, 2017 at 5:10 pmIt is totally fine to drain the juice.
Onie Nelson says
January 9, 2018 at 12:20 pmYou could not use as much broth if you wanted to!
Leah says
August 27, 2017 at 5:09 pmDecreasing the broth would be the best solution.
donnie loy says
August 18, 2017 at 5:42 pmI can I make this soup thicker? I really like the soup. Just wish it was thicker.
Kimmysue says
August 27, 2017 at 1:41 pmDon’t add as much broth?
Leah says
August 27, 2017 at 5:14 pmDecreasing the broth would help make it thinner.
Katie says
October 8, 2017 at 4:39 pmWhy would it become thinner if you use less broth? Would seem to me it would be thicker. I just don’t get your response. Please explain.
Tiffani says
October 11, 2017 at 1:29 pmLess liquid (broth) makes the soup thicker. If you want it thinner, you’d add more liquid (broth.)
Not sure how else that can be explained.
Melanie says
January 12, 2018 at 4:53 pmat the very end I just transferred it to a pot on the stove- let it simmer with no lid – 15 minuites later I had thick yummy soup! Just simmer it away!
Dj says
April 26, 2018 at 6:43 amI think they meant “thicker”… Probably just an accident.
K.K. says
December 21, 2017 at 4:19 pmYou meant thicker, that’s why it was confusing
Raven says
August 19, 2017 at 3:02 pmSo easy! So yummy! I crumbled gluten-free corn chips on top with shredded cheese!
lisa wood says
August 26, 2017 at 10:56 amhow many carbs are in a bowl of this taco soup?
Leah says
August 27, 2017 at 5:13 pmThere are 5 carbs in one cup of the soup
Alexis says
May 7, 2018 at 7:36 pmWait, how is 1 cup of this 547 calories!? It’s just beef and cream cheese? Omg… I made this not realizing the caloric amount.
Pamela S says
October 16, 2017 at 3:58 pmSMH 5 carbs per serving and a serving size is one cup and this makes 8 servings. Doesn’t anybody know how to read anymore? Sorry but the same three questions have been asked over and over with the answers right in front of them.
Gina K says
October 25, 2017 at 2:38 pmLOL!!
Morris says
November 13, 2017 at 1:43 amIts not shown in the recipe. It just says 8 servings. Where does it say the size of the serving? Besides the tons of comments? If someone is make a snap judgement on making it reading comments might change their mind. Shouldnt it be something with the nutritional facts?
CAMERON says
December 12, 2017 at 2:11 amOmg thank you! 😂🤦♀️
CAMERON says
December 12, 2017 at 2:13 amOmg! Thank you!! 😂🤦♀️
Jennifer says
June 22, 2018 at 12:58 pmI put in the calculations. If you use only one can of rotel, its 12 carbs a serving, not 5. Serioulsy. Why do people have to be so rude. 8 servings does not mean IT’S ONE CUP PER SERVING. mine is in the crockpot and you better believe I’m measuring the whole thing out. 12 is too many carbs. And that is after deducting the fiber!
Crystal says
September 5, 2017 at 7:29 pmHave you ever tried freezing it?
Leah says
September 7, 2017 at 10:15 amNo I have not, but would think it would work just fine.
Onie Nelson says
January 9, 2018 at 12:26 pmI make a taco soup and freeze all the time and it freezes well. Pretty sure this will, too.
Stephanie says
September 7, 2017 at 6:08 pmThis is really good and so easy. I didn’t go slow cooker route, just browned meat in pan and put everything else in separate soup pot on the stove then added the meat once it was browned and drained, simmered on stove for a little while and done! It is delicious! Thanks for a tasty and simple recipe.
Sam says
October 27, 2017 at 9:16 pmHow long did you cook it for that way!?
JoAnn Ackley says
September 11, 2017 at 6:42 pmYUM! YUM! YUM! I made this for dinner tonight and it is really good, delicious!
Chris says
September 11, 2017 at 8:13 pmMade this tonight…it was FANTASTIC!!! A homerun for this house of 5! Didn’t miss anything by eating this, was slightly surprised how good it really was without the usual stuff in it! Thank u!
Suzy says
September 11, 2017 at 11:03 pmDo you drain the rotel?
Susan Turner says
September 18, 2017 at 11:56 amLooks really good but awfully high in sodium which I have to restrict. RoTel makes a low sodium and most of the other ingredients could substitute low sodium versions to adapt to my diet.
April says
September 19, 2017 at 1:19 pmI am curious about you measurements for the taco spices too!! Would love to know how much of each ! This looks amazing and I would love to fix it!!
Lisa says
September 19, 2017 at 2:52 pmI subbed 1 pound of chicken tenders for 1 of the pounds of pork
Thanks for the recipe
Lisa
Billi says
September 21, 2017 at 10:34 pmI made this soup for dinner so yummy 😋 and my husband even ate some! I did use turkey sausage.
Summer says
September 22, 2017 at 1:07 pmI am going to make this tonight but I am going to use chicken breast instead of beef or pork. Sounds delicious and I can’t wait!
Janet Westhoek says
October 4, 2017 at 8:24 pmDo you think I can freeze this?
Kim says
October 5, 2017 at 6:15 pmThis soup was extremely easy and turned out perfect. It has become our new favorite soup and crockpot recipe. We will be making it quite often.
Caitlin says
October 23, 2017 at 12:29 amWhat kind of sausage can you use? Breakfast or Italian?
Dana Wambach says
October 23, 2017 at 9:31 pmDo you cook this covered or uncovered?
Dj says
April 26, 2018 at 6:45 amIn a crockpot you definitely want to keep it covered!
Sarah says
October 27, 2017 at 8:09 amMy daughter is gluten free (has to be, not fad) and we more than likely would not be able to use the store bought chicken stock. Make sure to check all ingredients that you put into a recipe. I know that since going gluten free, I have to make my own stock and make my own cream of (mushroom, chicken, celery, etc.) soups. Just a heads up.
Kim says
October 27, 2017 at 3:06 pmAwesome recipe! I made Keto meatloaf yesterday and used that for the meat. Turned out amazing! Thank you!
Jill says
November 4, 2017 at 10:58 amLoved it… I’m actually thinking about eating it again for breakfast, lol. I used a good amount of fresh cilantro and thought that added a fresh taste. I might have to try more veggies next time!
Beth Packer says
November 10, 2017 at 2:50 pmThe soup is so stinking awesome! I threw it all in the crockpot but I couldn’t resist keeping a serving out for myself. I just boiled it for a few minutes on the stove and added some cilantro and cheese and I had a secret feast!
Morris says
November 13, 2017 at 1:31 amHow much is a serving? A cup?
Noelys says
November 19, 2017 at 11:26 amCurious if anyone tried to freeze this soup? Would you cook the soup normally and then freeze or brown the meat throw the ingredients together and then freeze?
Megan @ Megunprocessed says
November 22, 2017 at 2:06 pmI love making soup in my slow cooker!
Erin says
November 23, 2017 at 10:07 amYum this looks so good!
Richa Gupta says
November 24, 2017 at 11:31 amSuch a delicious soup to try during winter!
Kayla says
November 24, 2017 at 5:29 pmThis was a great and easy soup to make, I added black beans to make it thicker and it was perfect!
Carolyn says
November 24, 2017 at 9:19 pmThis sounds delicious!
Laurie says
December 31, 2017 at 2:31 pmReally good and easy.
CraftySue says
January 6, 2018 at 9:08 pmThis taco soup is delish!!!! I’ll definitely be making this again!
Jeni says
January 11, 2018 at 3:37 pmIf you use the Light and Fit Cream Cheese, which is the low fat version, how do your macros get such a high fat content? What would it actually be if you calculated with the low fat version? Would it still be KETO if the fat is lower than the protein?
Danylle says
January 19, 2018 at 9:50 amWow. Just Wow. This was delicious. Even if I wasn’t on keto, I would still make it this way. It tasted like I wasn’t trying to manipulate a recipe so I could eat it and I very much appreciate that.
Kaylee says
January 19, 2018 at 11:44 amIs their really 33g of protein in 1 cup of this soup?
Teacher H. says
January 21, 2018 at 10:10 amI am amazed at the number of people who asked the same questions over and over and over!!! I followed the recipe to a T, checked above the recipe for how long to cook it, how many servings, etc. and found all the answers to these questions in the recipe itself. I also followed the tips Leah gave in her commentsThis why ya I could not run a blog. No one would visit my blog after I blasted, “Just read the #%*€ recipe!!!! Thank you Leah for putting up with such nonsense and for your wonderful recipe! I agree queso on a spoon!!! Yummy!!!
Leah says
January 21, 2018 at 10:14 amOh I am not perfect and sometimes make mistakes too! Thanks for reading along!
Sydro says
January 16, 2019 at 5:17 pmIf I cut the recipe in half, will it still need to cook as long?
Dorene says
January 21, 2018 at 12:33 pmI’ve been looking for something like this that is keto. Especially during this cold winter.
I’m giving it 5 stars already because I can tell it’s going to be wonderful and because you added the nutrition info for us! Thanks so much!!
Kelly M says
January 24, 2018 at 6:42 pmThis soup is amazing! Topped mine with shredded cheddar, sour cream and some avocado. Yummy!!
betfair says
February 5, 2018 at 5:52 amGreate post. Keep posting such kind of info on your blog. Im really impressed by
it.
Hey there, You have performed a great job. I will certainly
digg it and in my opinion suggest to my friends.
I’m confident they will be benefited from this website.
Whitney says
February 7, 2018 at 1:13 pmCould you present your nutritional info in grams instead of vague “servings”? Other than that good recipe. Thanks.
Chinetha says
February 10, 2018 at 11:42 amDefinitely a winner with this Taco Soup. Absolutely delicious! Great flavor and so easy to make. I added sliced mushrooms to mine and i used 1 can of rotel and 1 can of diced seasoned tomatoes. Awesome! Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe.
L says
February 12, 2018 at 7:22 pmI am so sorry but this low carb soup is not good. I followed your recipe and its inedible. To someone that’s starving from low carb eating, I’m ready to eat anything off a boot. Only thing that made it so I could eat it was adding Dreamfields macaroni to it. And I know the rage about them.
I see the Penzeys Spices in the background and love those!

February 22, 2018 at 10:01 pmCan I cut this recipe in half or would it ruin the results? Looks great!!!

March 4, 2018 at 1:55 pmWill ground Italian sausage work or is it referring to breakfast sausage? Also does anyone know if it will taste okay with 1 pound ground beef and 1 pound sausage mix??

March 22, 2018 at 4:03 pmTried this today and loved it! I didn’t have cilantro, used only one can of Rotel (less carbs), and used ground beef. I prepared in my instant pot, instead of a crockpot. (Manual setting for 25 minutes.) Turned out perfect! A added a little shredded cheddar and a little dollop of sour cream to my bowl. Delicious!!!

October 12, 2018 at 8:25 pmI have made this a couple times now and every time my cream cheese is chunky.. it never fully dissolves… what am I doing wrong? Other than that this recipe is amazing!

May 28, 2018 at 12:33 pmThis is so good. Taco soup was a staple in our house before we started keto. I wasn’t sure it would be good without beans and corn but it is! Only change I made was that I added 2 pablanos and some jalapeño for kick. Was soooo good! Making a batch this week to freeze as the kedtivers last time I made it froze so well!!

June 26, 2018 at 2:32 pmWhen I entered all the ingredients into carb manager with 8 servings, it says 9 net carbs. Once I make it, I’ll have to figure out what 1 serving is. If it makes 8 cups, that will be a 1 cup serving. Just won’t know until it.
Sarah says
June 26, 2018 at 3:01 pmIt actually makes 12 cups, so 1.5 cups is 9 net carbs. That is with breakfast sausage and homemade taco seasoning since package stuff has sugar.

November 6, 2018 at 5:16 amThis is a recipe that just keeps on going. We love it. Us being only a family of two, we have had so many meals out of this and I still made up a couple of portions for the freezer. It’s so rich and so filling, you only need a small bowl to feel satiated. This recipe is a keeper!

November 6, 2018 at 7:53 pmJust starting with low-carb diet and found this delicious recipe. This will be a staple, for sure! Super easy, meaty, and full of flavor. Didn’t have Rotel, so used diced tomatoes and jalapenos, which worked well. Although it’s great without, I added some cheddar and sour cream to finish. Would be a great dish to bring to a party, as well.

November 17, 2018 at 3:31 pmi used half and half pork and beef and used spicy taco seasoning as well as crushed red chili flakes.
husband ate 2 bowls in one go ( good thing he isnt keto like me! ) i also made it on the stove vs. the crock pot and simmered for 45 mins,
would this freeze well? i was hoping so for meals when i have no time to cook .

January 31, 2019 at 10:20 pmHi, I thought this recipe looked good, but I wanted to spice it up a bit. So, I used 1 lb of ground beef and 1 lb of beef chorizo. I also added an onion (chopped) and some garlic. lastly, I added a can of chopped green Chile. It was really good. I loved this recipe, and my husband loved it too! ** as a topper I added some thin tortilla strips along with cilantro.

February 11, 2019 at 5:10 pmBEST keto Taco Soup!! It was delicious!!
My edits: I used rotel Mexican Style with cilantro & lime. I also puréed the rotel cause I don’t like chunks of tomatoes. Used one lb deer burger & one lb sausage. I used the stir-in paste Cilantro. Added more taco seasoning. Garnished with fresh squeezed lime juice & cheese.

April 24, 2019 at 12:51 pmCould you please define the “serving size” of the low carb taco soup recipe?
Amanda says
April 28, 2019 at 2:33 pmNeufchâtel cheese (shown in picture) is used and should probably be listed in the ingredients list. It is way less carbs than regular cream cheese. That being said, I loved this recipe and so did my family. I used Salsa Style tomatoes instead of the Rotel brand toms/chilies and it was super good. I will definitely make this again!
I cant wait to try it with ground turkey.
