    Is Pumpkin Keto?

    Pumpkin belongs to the squash family. It does contain a little bit higher carb amounts compared to other vegetables. Canned pumpkin contains 7 grams net carbs per 1/2 cup. Most keto pumpkin recipes only use about 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin for the entire recipe. Since most recipes are between 4-8 servings, you really aren’t getting a ton of carbohydrates from the pumpkin. So you can still enjoy your favorite pumpkin treats and savory recipes while sticking to your keto diet goals.Pumpkin contains likes of nutrients and vitamins like Vitamin A and antioxidants.a kid taking a spoonful of creamy pumpkin soup

    Make it a Vegan or Vegetarian Keto Recipe

    This recipe is easy to make 100% vegan or vegetarian. First, instead of chicken stock, use vegetable stock or water for the soup base. At the end of this recipe, I like to add a little bit of butter to make the soup a little more buttery. You can omit this step completely or add a plant based butter.This keto soup makes a delicious vegan keto dinner recipe to enjoy during the colder weather months.

    Coconut Cream

    Coconut cream is added to this soup for flavor and to help mellow out the spiciness from the jalapeno. It also makes this low carb soup creamy while keeping it dairy free and vegan.I used canned coconut cream but if your store doesn’t carry canned coconut cream, you can use canned coconut milk. Make sure you grab the full fat coconut milk. When you open the can, don’t pour the whole thing in. Just scoop out the creamy coconut part and add that to your keto pumpkin soup. That thick white stuff is coconut cream.a can of coconut cream

    Keto Approved Peanut Butter

    Peanut butter is a little higher in carbs compared to other nut butters, but it is still considered keto approved as long as you use it sparingly. I like to pick out brands of peanut butter that have no additional sugars added to them. Ideally, you want a peanut butter that is just ground peanuts.You can also substitute with with nut butters if you prefer to use something like almond butter or macadamia nut butter in this keto pumpkin soup recipe.

    Kick up the Heat

    If you love spicy food, you can increase the heat in this soup recipe. To elevate the level of spiciness, you can either add the seeds from your jalapeno or add an additional jalapeno to this soup. You can also play around with the recipe and add different chiles. Try a habanero or a serrano pepper.overhead view of keto pumpkin soup in a pumpkin shaped bowl

    Keto Pumpkin Soup Storage

    Store any leftover keto pumpkin soup in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze this keto soup in a freezer bag or air tight container for 1-2 months.This makes it a great keto dinner option to meal prep. My family loves to eat this when the weather turns in the Fall, so I will prep up a batch on Sunday night and reheat it later in the week. It saves so much time and allows me to get dinner on the table quickly in between school and a night of fall sports.
