Keto cream of chicken and mushroom soup

Is Campbell's Cream of Chicken & Mushroom Soup Keto?

Campbell's Cream of Chicken & Mushroom Soup is not keto-friendly because it is a high-carb processed food that contains unhealthy ingredients like sunflower oil and modified starch.

High in Net Carbs

Campbell's Cream of Chicken & Mushroom Soup should be avoided on keto because it is high in net carbs (7.5g of net carbs per 100ml serving).

It is important to limit your net carb consumption to 20g - 30g per day to stay in ketosis. You can calculate your ideal daily net carb allowance by using this keto macros calculator.

As an alternative, you may look for other canned soups that are low in net carbs.

Contains Sunflower Oil

Sunflower Oil is a highly refined oil that is prone to oxidation and may cause inflammation in the body.

Highly refined oils are usually extracted using high heat and chemicals. This process strips out the nutrients from the oil and replaces them with harmful chemicals.

It is important to get your fats from healthy sources so your body can burn clean fuel while on ketosis. You may check out our list of best and worst oils for keto here.

Contains Modified Starch

Modified Starch is a controversial additive that is included in our list of food additives to avoid for keto.

Food additives are potentially harmful to health and should be avoided as much as possible.

Most of your diet should come from minimally processed foods to achieve a healthy weight loss on keto.

How can I thicken soup without flour or cornstarch?

• 5 cups chicken stock
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/3 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

1. Add olive oil to a Dutch oven or large pot over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes, then remove the chicken from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. Add the mushrooms and saute for 6 minutes. Reserve 2 tablespoons of cooked mushrooms for garnish.
3. Add onions, garlic, thyme, sage, Marsala wine, and saute 4 more minutes.
4. Next, add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Then stir in the chicken and simmer 10 minutes uncovered.
5. Remove the thyme stems from the pot and discard. Whisk in the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and Monterey jack cheese until smooth.
6. You can pan fry the reserved mushrooms in a little olive oil to use for garnish.

Notes

Marsala wine can in fact be consumed on a keto diet. We feel it's a big part of the flavor profile of this soup since it's a perfect complement to the mushrooms and the cheese. However if it is of concern then you can simply omit it.
