Keto taco soup is so easy to make at home, and it’s so tasty.

This recipe is part of our keto soup collection, which also includes our delicious cream of chicken soup and our nutritious broccoli cheese soup.

If you like your soup a little more hot, feel free to add some hot peppers to your liking.

We love to top our Keto Taco Soup with avocado, but a better idea is to top it with our sugar-free guacamole.
