Low Carb Vietnamese Pork Meatball Napa Cabbage Soup is a great go-to Vietnamese comfort meal that is simple to put together. The recipe makes a large batch of soup, so it is great for meal prepping. The soup is made by hydrating dried shiitake mushrooms, chopping them, and mixing them into ground turkey meat. The meat is seasoned with crushed white pepper and fish sauce and chopped kelp noodles to help moisten the meatballs. The texture is quite exciting! The meatballs are simmered in a chicken bone broth and then joined along with fresh napa cabbage, more shiitake mushrooms, and kelp noodles. The kelp noodles make a great low-carb substitute for bean thread noodles. Yes, they have a robust flavor from the drying process that fresh shiitake mushrooms do not have. They can be found at your local Asian grocery store or online. This dish is traditionally made using ground pork, which you can substitute with ground turkey. However, choose a higher fat percentage ground turkey to keep it Keto or serve the dish with a high-fat side or snack. Feel free to serve this dish with a Vietnamese Avocado Smoothie https://www.carbmanager.com/recipe/low-carb-vietnamese-avocado-smoothie to add some healthy fats to your meal.

This super easy soup is packed with flavor, protein, and fat, making it a perfect Keto meal. Prepare it in the morning for a delicious lunchtime treat, or let it simmer all day for a comforting dinner after work. The soup gets its rich taste from bacon, chicken thighs, a blend of dry seasonings, and fresh leeks. For an even deeper flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought. Heavy cream adds a creamy texture and boosts the fat content. If you desire even more richness, try melting cream cheese into the soup for a thicker consistency. This chicken, bacon, and greens soup isn't just a delicious meal; it's also great for meal prepping. Make multiple batches and freeze them in containers after cooling. If you're looking for more than just soup, use it as a side dish! Simply divide the servings and macros in half to enjoy a smaller portion alongside your Keto meal. Alternatively, pair a full bowl with other Keto-friendly side dishes. Create a cafe-style experience by combining this Keto soup with any of Carb Manager's salads, sandwiches, or pinwheels. To garnish, melt a slice of mozzarella or provolone cheese over the soup in an oven-safe bowl under the broiler. A dollop of sour cream is another yummy and Keto-friendly option. Enhance the broth's flavor by including a satchel of fresh herbs while the soup cooks in the slow cooker. As mentioned earlier, using homemade chicken stock will also add depth. If fresh leeks aren't available, chopped green onions make an excellent substitute.
