Making Your Keto Mushroom Soup Vegetarian
For this delicious low-carb soup, I have used beef broth (stock), and have been known to fry up and add a couple of slices of bacon to it.
However, if you want to make this vegetarian, just use vegetable stock instead. You can make your own or buy it in most supermarkets, just check out the ingredients and carb content before you use it.

I would always encourage you to make your own stock! Once you’ve tried it once, you’ll see how simple it is.

How long can I keep my Keto Mushroom Soup for?
Storing you Mushroom Soup in the Fridge
If you are keeping your fresh homemade soup in the refrigerator it should easily last 2-3 days, at a push 4 days. I know I have eaten it after 4 days and it has been fine, but I wouldn’t want to advise anybody else to do this!
Can I freeze my Mushroom Soup?
This Keto Mushroom soup is perfect for freezing. I always make extra of this Keto soup with the sole purpose of freezing it. That way, if I need a lunch to take to work – when I know I will have access to a microwave, I always have one of these in reserve!
In order to freeze your Keto Mushroom Soup, portion it out between some Lock & Lock (or any airtight containers) and wait for it to cool. Once your soup has cooled, pop on the lid and place it in the freezer.
Don’t be put off if your soup looks a yellow colour, when you take it out of the freezer, this is just the fats separating. Once your Keto Mushroom Soup is fully defrosted and you’ve given it a stir, it will look ‘normal’ again.
How long can I freeze mushroom soup for?
This Keto Mushroom soup will freeze fine for up to two months. I’ve never left it in there for longer than this.
