How to Make Low Carb Vegetable Beef Soup {Quick Overview}
This is just a quick overview of some of the steps involved in making the low carb vegetable beef soup. For the recipe in detail, including exact measurements used at each step, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.
NOTE: The photo above is from my Keto Vegetable Soup recipe, which is the same as this recipe but without ground beef. The beef is missing from the photos, but everything else is the same.
In a saute pan over medium-high heat, brown ground beef. Remove from heat and set aside (or move cooked beef and beef fat to a large bowl or deep plate). (unpictured)
NOTE: I kept my beef in larger pieces, but feel free to break the beef up while cooking to whatever size you prefer.
Add olive oil to saute pan. When heated, add chopped red onion and saute until beginning to turn translucent. Add garlic. Cook until onions are translucent and the garlic is starting to brown. (Photo 1)
Add bell pepper, carrot, and celery. Stir mixture thoroughly and saute for two minutes. (Photo 2)
Add parsley, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir mixture thoroughly and saute for one minute. (Photo 3)
Add ground beef (and remaining pan fat), chicken stock, tomatoes, cauliflower, green beans, and bay leaves, and again thoroughly stir the mixture. Bring the mixture to a low boil. (Photo 4)
TIP: I used frozen Italian cut green beans for convenience. You can use fresh or frozen green beans.
Then, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Simmer the soup, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove bay leaves and add salt and pepper to taste. (Photo 5)
Portion into individual bowls and enjoy!
How Do I Make Vegetable Beef Soup Taste Better?
In a separate searing pan, sear the beef and some of the vegetables before adding them to the soup. Add the garlic, onion, any peppers and some of the carrots to the beef while searing it. The whole soup will then have a deep, layered flavor that it wouldn’t have otherwise. This also prevents the beef from getting a rubbery texture while it is simmering in the soup.

Nice combo of veggies! I generally use onions, beef meatballs, and turnips in mine. Nice to think about other vegetable options, like you’ve done. Cannot imagine using anything other than beef-based broth, in a beef based soup.
