What to Serve with Easy Taco Soup Recipe
This keto friendly soup has quickly become a favorite at our house. Top it off with some shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and you’ve got yourself a bowl of pure bliss. I found a tub of Wholly Guacamole Avocado Verde Dip that is super low in carbs that works great on top of this soup.
We all know that a bowl of soup alone can’t always satisfy those cravings, so we need some delicious sides to complete the meal. One of our favorites is Southwestern Green Beans. A simple green salad with a creamy Mexican ranch dressing goes great with this soup. Don’t forget some Cheesy Keto Biscuits to soak up all that flavorful broth! No matter what you serve with this soup, you won’t be disappointed!
