I'm not a fan of cold weather, but I do love a hot bowl of soup on a cold winter night. Now that I'm making dinner again soup is on the menu, and that has me pretty excited. Do you know how easy it is to load soup with fat? Soup is one of those fantastic meals that you can change in a million ways and make it your own. When I get tired of meat and veggies soup is a go-to meal for me. Truth be told, I enjoy a good hot soup in the summer too!
If you like your soup extra hot, you can add some hot sauce to this Keto Cheesy Shrimp Soup which would make it similar to our fabulous Keto Buffalo Ranch Chicken Soup.
Please remember when making these recipes that you should be shredding your own cheese! I've talked to you about this before, but I'll say it again in case you missed it!
Health Tip: Never buy shredded cheese! Do you know what they put in that stuff? Well, wood pulp for starters! You'll find it as cellulose and usually, some type of starch. So don't please don't use shredded cheeses. Just use a cheese grater and grate your own! Easy-peasy, right?
Okay, let's get to it.

This was so delicious! I will make this again and again. I might also add minced garlic to it with some chili powder.
Patty says
I'm confused. How are you to prepare the shrimp?
ketosizeme says
I've updated this to clear up the confusion. I used the instructions on the package of shrimp.
Regina says
Great flavor and made up a bunch (awesome left overs). I was looking for a good "keto flu" fix, and this did the trick. I think next time I'll use Parmesan cheese or similar. Had problems with the cheddar dissolving, left with some clumps. Still very enjoyable. Thank you!
Tara says
One of my favorite keto recipes. When I make a batch I literally eat it daily until it's gone, then I make a new one! I add garlic and onion powder, chili powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and fresh basil leaves. Amazing.
Rhonda Evans says
My daughter and I are both on keto. We have fixed this several. times but we sub the mushrooms out for broccoli and we just love it! It's so creamy and has a great flavor. We add a little s&p and garlic powder too.
Robin Chaiken says
This is great soup! Made it a short while ago...Is 1 cup a serving?? it is noted it serves 8
ketosizeme says
To be honest it has been so long since I made this that I'm not sure. I usually used one cup but I would divide the recipe by eight just to be sure. You can do that by pouring the soup into a bowl on a food scale and getting the total weight then diving that by eight. Hope that helps!
