I love spinach and artichoke dip! Who doesn’t really? Even my husband who is not a huge vegetable fan likes it – I mean you put enough cheese and cream into veggies and pretty much anyone will like it.

Problem is, it’s not the healthiest thing for you.  On a carb restrictive diet you can eat more of it but then you can’t have all the yummy chips or crackers that usually accompany it and it’s just not the same without something crunchy to eat it on.

I did make these low carb crackers which helped but I was wracking my brain trying to think of a way to get all those yummy flavors together that I could just eat by itself.

Viola – soup!  And it’s the perfect time of year to enjoy a hot, creamy bowl of soup that tastes exactly like spinich and artichoke dip!

The bonus is that if you aren’t on a low carb diet or are just watching your calories, you can get all those yummy flavors and have more control over the fat and calories by using milk instead of cream, less cheese, etc. and it still tastes great!

I like a little heat in mine so I added some sriracha and I fried my low carb crackers in a little butter until they were crispy and used them as croutons.  This was SO satisfying and really did taste like the dip!
That sweet aftertaste that artichokes can have permeates the soup and makes your mouth water with every bite.  Soooo yummy!  Perfect for a chilly winter evening!  Oh and did I mention it’s super easy to make???
By far one of my favorite kitchen tools for making blended soups is an inexpensive (and pretty!) immersion blender which lets me blend low carb soups right in the pot they are cooking in without transferring it to a blender (and spilling hot soup all over the place usually!)  Less mess, less dishes and super easy = a win/win for sure!
I was running out of cheese so I used odds and ends that I had but I imagine this would be yummy with almost any cheese.  Traditionally I think the dip is made with mozzarella and Parmesan.

    Great recipe! I’m using it as part of a surgery recovery menu needing nutrient dense soft foods. I’m trying to log it in my FitDay macros, but I can’t find how much a serving is? What’s that scoop? :)

    I made this tonight but didn’t add the onion, or the suggested cheeses, or sour cream. I added 1 cup shredded chicken to the pot with the puree, 1 tbsp of Mrs. Dash, 2 tbsp of cream cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and 4 slices of Havarti cheese. It is soooooo yummy!!

    Stupid question, but I’ve heard people say different things about soups & stuff with milk & cheese..but..do you think this will freeze well? Seems like it would, & I’ll probably use part almond milk/part heavy cream..

    thanks!

      Wow Sarah – kudos for sticking with LC for the long term! I’ve found that the longer I’m on it the less I want to cheat so I’m hoping I’ll be sticking with it for a long time myself. I hope you like the recipes – they are what keeps me going for sure. Especially this soup which I really love! I eat it at least 2 or 3 times a week, sometimes more! Just can’t get enough of it!

    Thanks, I subscribed via email also. What part of SC are you in? With my job I am all over but I live in Moncks Corner. What kind of work keeps you traveling? I will be doing less traveling soon. I am going to be working more in the Charleston area and I think I will have to go to Beufort. I am so tired of traveling. I can not wait to read more of your blog, I am not much of a cook at all even though I do try. My new years resolution was to cook atleast one different recipe per month.

      We live just over the bridge on 95 from Santee on Lake Marion. My husband does stone masonry and I do landscaping and we have our own business. We’re working on getting more work down here near Charleston or Columbia and have some promising leads, but meanwhile we’ve been spending a lot of time in CT, a few months in Virginia this past spring, and even in St. Martin for a few weeks last December. It’s just not fun anymore, especially with a four year old. We’re gone for months at a time and have to pack everything up and find a place to stay, etc. etc. So I feel you on the tired of traveling thing! I have a friend who’s parents are in Beufort but we’ve never been. One new recipe a month is a great resolution – totally doable! If you need any help or have any questions you can always email me directly at sevigm@yahoo.com! Let me know that goes and if you try any of my recipes! XO
