Simple keto friendly meals: Creamy Lasagna Soup in One Pot

Simple keto friendly meals give you a low‑carb lasagna soup that satisfies cravings fast. Many keto soups turn watery or lack cheesy richness, leaving diners disappointed. I spent months tweaking this recipe, burning the cheese twice before nailing the texture. The broth silks as butter emulsifies, while the cheese stretches golden with each spoonful.

Exact amounts are in the printable recipe card below — here's what you'll need at a glance.

Main Ingredients

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 cup cauliflower rice
• 4 cups low‑sodium beef broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Seasonings & Flavors

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings

• (Optional) Fresh basil leaves
• (Optional) Extra shredded mozzarella
• (Optional) Crushed pork rinds

Ingredient Notes

• Butter: Adds richness and helps emulsify cream; substitute with ghee for higher smoke point, but may lose buttery flavor.
• Ground beef: Provides protein and depth; pat dry before browning to avoid steaming, a common cause of soggy broth.
• Cauliflower rice: Low‑carb noodle stand‑in; if overcooked it becomes mushy, so add later in simmer.
• Heavy cream: Creates silkiness; add off heat to prevent curdling, the top failure point.
• Mozzarella cheese: Melts into stretchy texture; low‑moisture version reduces excess water that can thin soup.
• Parmesan cheese: Adds umami and slight thickening; freshly grated works best, pre‑grated may contain anti‑caking agents.
