Keto Pho in a Mug – Quick, Nourishing & Low-Carb Comfort

Craving something warm, savory, and comforting but don't have time for a full meal prep? Keto Pho in a Mug – your new go-to 5-minute keto fix! This easy, flavorful soup-in-a-cup delivers the umami goodness of traditional pho in a simple, low-carb version made with pantry staples.

Whether you're looking for a satisfying snack or a base to build a complete meal, this keto pho is endlessly customizable and totally delicious.

πŸ₯£ Ingredients (1 serving):

  • 1 bouillon cube (chicken, beef, or veggie – make sure it's sugar-free)

  • 1 cup hot water (near boiling)

  • 1 tsp coconut oil

  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger

  • 1 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes

  • 1/2 tsp dried cilantro (or to taste)

  • 1 tbsp sliced almonds (or your favorite chopped nuts)

  • 2–3 slices fresh jalapeΓ±o (optional, for heat)

Directions:

  1. Add Ingredients to a Mug: Place the bouillon cube, coconut oil, ginger, coconut flakes, dried cilantro, and almonds in a large mug.

  2. Pour Hot Water: Slowly pour hot water into the mug, stirring gently to dissolve the bouillon cube and mix in the spices.

  3. Top It Off: Add jalapeΓ±o slices if using. Let the soup steep for 1–2 minutes so the flavors meld.

  4. Optional Boost: Want to make it a full meal? Toss in a handful of thinly sliced zucchini, mushrooms, leftover chicken, or cooked beef for added protein and texture.
