Need a filling high-protein, low-carb soup? These soups are easy to make, nutritious, flavorful, and extra filling.
A lot of us, myself included, have turned to low-carb diets. And for a good reason- on a low-carb diet, you can lose weight faster in the short term.
And losing that weight faster can motivate you to stick to your diet. But do you know what can help boost your weight loss even more?
Adding more protein to your diet. That’s because protein is really filling.
In fact, it’s even more filling than carbs or even fats.
And do you want another secret to turbocharge your weight loss? Have more soup!
Soup makes you feel full. This, in turn, helps you eat less. So, bring on that soup.
Today I’m sharing high protein low carb soups. They’ll not only help you lose weight but keep you warm as well.
So, go ahead and dig right in!
1. Coconut Chicken Soup

When it’s chilly outside, you want to snuggle in a blanket. And, of course, warm up with a nice bowl of soup.
This Coconut Chicken soup is sure to transport you to the Caribbean. It has exotic flavors like coconut and spicy jalapeno peppers.
And the ginger adds a pleasant warmth—the coconut milk tones down some of the heat.
Meanwhile, the red bell pepper and zucchini add freshness and a ton of nutrition.
In fact, one serving provides more than 120% of your daily Vitamin A needs. Now, that’s a whole lot of Vitamin A!
And the leftovers taste even better the next day. So, it’s perfect for meal prep.
To keep your soup tasting fresh longer, ensure that you place it in air-tight food storage containers. I recommend these glass ones here.
However, if you prefer light-weight containers, these ones are another excellent option.

A lot of us are incorporating more high protein vegan meals into our diet. And for a good reason- eating plant-based has many advantages.
For instance, it can help you lose weight. And who doesn’t want that?
This Tofu soup is full of yummy Asian flavors. And the carrots and broccoli make it pretty colorful.
And the tofu makes this soup pretty filling- you definitely won’t miss the meat.
Besides being high in protein, tofu is good for you too. It contains several bone-building minerals such as manganese, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium.
And it contains isoflavones, which are antioxidants that have several health benefits.
What I love most about this protein soup is the fact that it contains only 125 calories. So, you can have extra and not feel guilty.

Need some more Asian eats? I’ve got you covered.
This soup has all the yummy flavors of Wonton soup- but without all the carbs.
The coconut aminos add a nice umami flavor, while the ginger adds some heat. And the ground pork makes it pretty filling.
Meanwhile, the bean sprouts add a nice crunch- it’s a party in your mouth.
And unlike your typical Wonton soup, this one contains way less sodium. That’s because you’re using no sodium chicken stock, which you can get right here.
Also, you’re using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Coconut aminos contain up to two-thirds less sodium than regular soy sauce.
And they add not only umami but a sweet taste too. If you’d like to try some, you can pick up some here.

Tacos are nice, but on a low-carb diet, they are a No-No. That’s because of the corn tortillas.
One tortilla alone has 9 grams of net carbs. And we all know you can’t just have one, right?
And as yummy as they are, they are not worth abandoning your skinny jeans.
This Taco soup has all the yummy flavors of a taco. There’s nicely browned beef, cream cheese, juicy tomatoes, creamy avocado, and Mexican spices.

Meanwhile, the cream cheese and heavy cream add creaminess. And the green chilis add a burst of heat.
Now it does take more than 3 hours to make this soup. That’s because you’re cooking your soup in a slow cooker.
This really allows the flavors to develop. So, make sure you have a slow cooker. If you don’t have one, there’s a great deal on this high-quality one here.
What I love most about this soup is that it makes 8 servings. So, you have plenty of leftovers. This is also a perfect high protein freezer meal.

Making this soup is quite easy. Start by placing your chicken, green enchilada sauce, and chicken broth in a slow cooker, and cook for about 7 hours on low.
Next, take out your chicken and shred it with a fork. To make it easier, you can just use some meat shredders like this.
