This cozy autumn soup is such a perfect meal for me — it's quick, easy, inexpensive and can usually be made in advance and frozen for a really convenient vegetarian keto meal in the future.

It's also great if you’re stuck at home or just don’t want to leave the house, as all you really need for this dish is mushrooms, and a few other items you’ll hopefully have in your fridge, freezer or pantry.

If you do want to freeze this low-carb soup, I suggest you use fresh onion and spinach in the recipe and doubling the quantity for a larger batch.

For a heartier meal and extra protein, I like to serve this soup topped with some fried halloumi, poached eggs or cooked chicken.
