Keto Instant Pot Thai Shrimp Soup-
Keto Instant Pot Thai Shrimp Soup is a delicious, creamy, low carb, paleo, and whole30 soup with Thai flavors of lemongrass, lime, ginger, red curry and coconut milk made in the Instant PotⓇ.
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Ⓡ.
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.
Only this version is a little different and less spicy so my hubby can still have it, lol.

Tamara Hargrave
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!
Stacey
Thank you, Tamara, for trying the recipe and for your kind words. I will have to try it with salmon and chicken as well 🙂
Michelle
This was amazing! Will be making this often. Thanks for sharing!
Stacey
Thank you so much, Michelle, for trying the recipe & for your kind words.
Lake
I meant to say I’m highly allergic to coconut.
Stacey
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 🙁
Lake
I am higher allergic to coconut. Could I substitute another plant based milk for coconut milk?

I added some zucchini for a little more veggies and used wild caught shrimp, my husband said it tastes like our favorite Thai restaurant... this is a super easy recipe and tastes delicious
