Keto Hot and Sour Soup
That first spoonful of hot and sour soup from your favorite Chinese restaurant? Pure comfort. The realization that it just cost you 15+ grams of carbs from hidden cornstarch and sugar? Less comforting. Here’s the thing: traditional hot and sour soup gets its signature silky texture from a generous pour of cornstarch slurry. Restaurants also tend to add sugar to balance the vinegar’s bite. Neither of those things belongs in a keto lunch—but that tangy, warming, deeply satisfying soup absolutely does. This version delivers everything you love about the takeout classic in just 25 minutes, with only 5 grams of net carbs per bowl. The secret? Xanthan gum replaces the cornstarch (a tiny amount creates that same glossy, spoon-coating texture),
