What Taco Seasoning is Keto Friendly?

I like to make my own keto taco seasoning. Using my homemade recipe, I know exactly what is in them and I know that it is keto. Many of the store bought ones have additives to preserve it and many times have cornstarch added as well.

How Long Does Taco Soup Last?

If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, they will last for up to 5 days. Once the soup has cooled, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This soup tastes great reheated the next day.

Can You Freeze Taco Soup?

Keto taco soup can be frozen, It freezes beautifully, but you want to freeze it before adding the cream cheese. The cream cheese will break when it is frozen. This can make the soup taste a little grainy.

I like to make a large batch of soup and double the recipe. Half of it I will freeze and half we will eat that night. In that case, right before it is time to add the cream cheese, I will separate half the soup into another bowl. I let this bowl cool completely. In the pot, I add the cream cheese and finish the recipe. Place the cooled soup in a freezer bag and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months.

How to reheat frozen taco soup

To reheat frozen taco soup remove it 24 hours before you want to serve it and allow it to defrost in the fridge. Add it to a large pot and cook over medium heat on the stove, once warmed add in the cream cheese.

Tips for making this recipe

Change up the meat. I like using ground beef but you can also use ground turkey, ground chicken, or ground venison.

Use homemade taco seasoning. While store-bought taco seasoning is easy to grab it has ingredients in it like preservatives and corn starch that are not low carb or keto friendly so it’s best to use homemade seasoning.

Shred your own cheese. Packaged shredded cheese has ingredients to make it not clump together so it is best to shred your own cheese. Using cheese you shred yourself will also melt better.

Add more spice. If you want this Low Carb Taco soup to have a more spicy kick to it, you can add an additional can of green chilis. I tend to keep things on the low end for spicy in our house because a few of the kiddos are not fans of anything spicy, but it is really easy to add an additional kick to this taco soup recipe. You can also up the amount of chili powder that you add to it.
