Lettuce and bacon soup (recipe) is a keto friendly food item with net carbohydrates of about 4-5 per serving.
Recipe instructions
- In a large skillet fry the bacon until fully cooked but not crisp.
- Remove bacon and fat from skillet, then return 1/4 cup of the fat to the pan.
- Stirring constantly, add the flour and brown in fat to a deep golden brown.
- 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.
- Add the lettuce and cut up bacon to the browned fat and flour mixture.
- Bring back to a rolling boil, stirring contantly.
- Add eggs to mixture making sure to stir it thoughout the soup.
