Lettuce and bacon soup (recipe) is a keto friendly food item with net carbohydrates of about 4-5 per serving.

Recipe instructions

  1. In a large skillet fry the bacon until fully cooked but not crisp.
  2. Remove bacon and fat from skillet, then return 1/4 cup of the fat to the pan.
  3. Stirring constantly, add the flour and brown in fat to a deep golden brown.
  4. Add the water carefully as it will splatter some (I find it splatters less if I dump all the water in quickly) and stir well. Then add the milk and bring to a rolling boil stirring frequently.
  5. Add the lettuce and cut up bacon to the browned fat and flour mixture.
  6. Bring back to a rolling boil, stirring contantly.
  7. Add eggs to mixture making sure to stir it thoughout the soup.
  8. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for about 1/2 hour (until lettuce is cooked down).
