How can I thicken a Vegetable Soup that is Low Carb?
My husband is on a Low Carb diet (none after lunch) and as it’s getting near winter time here, I thought some nice vegetable soups would be good for lunches. But of course not being able to use potato or other starches has me stumped.

Corn starch really shouldnt make any difference in carbs.

If you are willing to forgo the classic idea of vegetable soup, try making soups with a bean foundation, like split pea and ham or white beans and kale (creamy and loaded with vitamins). If you are dead set on more traditional veggie soups, try adding heavy cream at the latest stages of cooking to add some thickness and texture to your broth or look to soups like french onion and cauliflower and leek, which use creams instead of starches for body. Watch out for veggies like carrots and tomatoes, which contain lots of sugars. Those are carbs too. A little bit of cornstarch or flour goes a long away and adds near insignificant amounts of carbs. If fat isn’t a concern, try toping any meek soup with cheese. YUM!

Cut them small and put more vegetables in it. Puree some of it in a blender.

You could mash up some cauliflower, that should replace potato really well. Other tricks are xanthum or guar gum, as well as creme fraiche, cheese or simply pureeing some of the vegies.

Gelatin or eggs. Just prepare like usual and mix in, and do the eggs like you would in pudding.
