Keto Thai-Style Coconut Shrimp Soup

Light but hearty Thai Cocout Shrimp Soup hits your Keto, Paleo and Whole30 goals

I always feel a little guilty in January when the weather in LA is warm and sunny but the rest of the country is buried in snow and ice. I can’t do anything about the weather but I can offer this recipe for a warming, comforting bowl of Thai-inspired, keto-friendly soup.

This is a great go-to for cold and flu season. It’s fast and easy to make when you don’t have energy for anything more complex. Nevertheless, the tangy, faintly-spicy, rich and creamy broth tastes complex and energizing.

Ketogenic Shrimp Coconut Soup

You can easily swap the shrimp for diced chicken – just add the chicken when you add the mushrooms. If you don’t have lemongrass handy, the stuff in the tube works just fine – or leave it out without too much harm done.

Fast, gluten-free, low carb and paleo, this is a recipe you’ll want to keep handy for any time of year.

    This soup was so good! I did add some red bell pepper, as well as some left over broccoli florets. It was delicious! If you are a fan of Thai soups this is a must!

        I love loads and loads of ginger but if you’re not a huge fan, a a scant teaspoon of finely minced ginger should give it enough flavor. For ginger lovers like me, a couple of tablespoons 😀

    This soup was good, however there is no mention of how much ginger ( I used 1T grated fresh). I also upped the chili paste to 1T because we like it spicy. I think next time I will try to sauté garlic & ginger in a bit of oil first to bring out the fragrance.

    Hi, what does 2 c reduce sodium chicken broth mean?

      Hi Christina! Some chicken broth is marked as “reduced sodium” meaning it contains less salt. I made this recipe using 2 cups of that type of broth. You can absolutely use regular chicken broth or any other kind of broth – just keep in mind that the nutritional information will be different for you. I hope you love it!

    The ingredients list says garlic, but the instructions say ginger… which one is the real ingredient?

      Oh no! I’m an idiot! Ingredients should say ginger (although I actually use both). I can’t update right now but will shortly.

      Thank you so much for catching!!

    I made this recipe today, and the entire family absolutely loved it. I doubled the recipe to make enough for everyone, and the proportions worked perfectly for doubling (except I did add an extra can of coconut milk to really amp up that flavor). I also added four Thai red chili peppers (halved), to give it a bit more fire. Delicious!

    Hello! I do have a question about one of the ingredients.
    Is it possible to leave the mushrooms out? I’m badly allergic and can’t have them in any of my food. I was wondering what would be a good substitute for them.

      Totally leave them out! Any low-carb vegetable could sub. It may not be super Thai but maybe broccoli, some asparagus spears or just a handful of spinach? I hope you find something you love!
