    Keto Instant Pot Thai Shrimp Soup - Low Carb, Paleo & Whole30Pin

    Keto Instant Pot Thai Shrimp Soup is low carb, paleo with a whole30 option.  A creamy Thai-inspired shrimp soup with delicious Thai-inspired flavors of coconut, lime, and fragrant lemongrass.

    A quick and easy-to-make Instant Pot soup with such incredible flavors! This recipe was a very big hit with my family and friends.

    It is a simple recipe that I will be making over and over again in my Instant Pot.

    Keto Instant Pot Thai Shrimp Soup - Paleo & Whole30Pin

    My favorite Thai restaurant soup is called "Tom Yum Goong Soup," so I decided to make a low-carb version of this soup with the Instant Pot.

    This version is a little different and less spicy, so my hubby can still have it, lol.

      This is wonderful! The sauce tastes just like my favorite salmon curry dish at a San Francisco area restaurant so I also made it with salmon instead of shrimp. I’m not sure which I like better, it’s the sauce that makes it so delicious. I might try it with chicken next. Thank you!

        Hi Lake, I'm not sure if another plant milk would work, as coconut is one of the main & key flavors of the soup. Sorry, I don't have a good sub for this particular recipe 🙁
