Keto Leek, Zucchini and Cheese Soup
This flavorful Keto soup makes a deliciously warming lunch or dinner option. Our low carb soup is prepared with aromatic leek, tender zucchini, creamy butter, shredded cheddar cheese, fragrant garlic, and chicken stock. This tasty Keto soup is perfect served with low carb buttered dinner rolls or toasted Keto bread.
Can I Use a Different Cheese?
We have added shredded cheddar cheese to our Keto soup recipe for additional fats and flavor. You can easily swap the cheddar for an alternative shredded semi-hard cheese. Some good alternatives would be Gouda, gruyere, or Monterey Jack. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
What Can I Use Instead of Leeks?
We have added sliced leeks to our low carb soup base. As part of the allium family, leeks have a flavor reminiscent of onion. If you do not wish to use leeks or they are not available, you can substitute for some diced white onion, scallions, or even add some fresh chives.

Step 1
Wash the leek and discard the tough base and any wilted outer leaves. Thinly slice the leek, roughly dice the zucchini, and roughly chop the garlic. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a low/medium heat. Add the leek, garlic, and zucchini. Stir well and cook gently in the butter for 3-4 minutes until tender and fragrant.Step 2
Add the chicken stock to the pan. Add salt and pepper as required. Bring the stock up to a boil. Give everything a good stir and reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes until the vegetables have softened.Step 3
Add the grated cheese to the pan. Stir through to combine. Remove the pan from the heat.Step 4
Use an immersion blender to carefully process the soup until velvety smooth. Alternatively, allow the soup to cool a little, then transfer to a freestanding blender to process. Serve hot with your preferred Keto sides.
