Inspiration for this courgette and brie soup recipe came from my darling friend, Little Debbie Bryson who makes something similar at her sop-en-dop* birthday party every winter in Cape Town. Since moving to UK, I have sadly missed so many of them. This is for you LDB, I know it doesn’t compare to yours – but I slurped my version up with a longing lump in my throat. The recipe makes two hearty bowls, filling enough as a main meal, but you could make it stretch to 4 servings and enjoy it as a late-afternoon light meal (cup-of-soup) and halve the macros accordingly.

Keto Courgette and Brie Soup

Don't be fooled that this veg soup is listed as a main meal, its as filling as it is deeply satisfying. A comforting bowl of warm soup, high in fibre with the lovely flavour of strong brie. This soup comes in at 7.4g carbs per serving - but if you choose to stretch it to 4 servings, you can enjoy it as a light meal in a cup and halve the macros accordingly.
