Who says low carb can’t be filling? Or tasty? This Beef Radish Soup recipe has all the makings of a healthy, hearty beef stew without the carb-laden veggies like potatoes and carrots!
I love hearty and filling soups like chicken zucchini soup and this easy beef soup with radishes. They make the perfect lunch or dinner on cool fall days and the best part is they are both low carb!

What Is Beef Radish Soup?
This easy beef soup removes the carrots and potatoes in exchange for low-carb, nutrient-packed radishes, onions, celery, and cauliflower all cooked with some stewing beef in a savory broth. It’s the perfect cold-weather entrée, especially after a long day of work or school!
How To Make Beef Radish Soup
Radishes in beef soup might sound a little unconventional, but it’s really a great way to enjoy a flavorful meal without the carbs, allowing you to keep that waistline trim!
- Saute the beef pieces in small batches (see recipe below).
- Add onions & garlic and cook until they are tender and fragrant.
- Add the broth and seasonings, scraping up the flavorful bits that stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Bring to a boil then simmer for about 45 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer until veggies are tender.
This delicious soup is nothing short of amazing. Sample and adjust the seasonings according to your preference and enjoy!
What To Serve It With
In keeping with the low-carb theme:
- a crispy salad would be a perfect complement to this beef and radish soup.
- steamed veggies like zucchini, squash, or broccoli with cheese sauce make excellent sides, too!
- add a fun appetizer like crisp zucchini fries, bacon wrapped cabbage, or even a simple fresh veggie tray with low carb dill dip for something completely different.
Can You Freeze The Leftovers?
Almost all soups can be frozen, but in this case, the radishes might be a little soggy. If you are going to reheat beef and radish soup, think about tossing in a few fresh radishes and some cauliflower rice to give it a little more bulk. Adjust the seasonings again with salt and pepper or some extra garlic and thyme!

The only problem is my son does not like tomatoes. Do you suggest tomato sauce,juice or soup in place if the diced tomatoes?
Thank yo

Hi Pamela, we actually don’t add tomatoes to this recipe so he may love it just as it is! 🙂

What an inventive recipe, just packed with both flavor and delicious veggie nutrition! Such a great twist on more traditional beef soups or stews, with low carb vegetables instead of the usual potatoes and carrots! So cozy, too – this will be great for cold fall and winter evenings!

This looks delish but I don’t eat beef so can you recommend vegetarian protein in substitute.
Easy Low Carb CH says
Maybe some other readers have some suggestions for you!
Jeanne says
I’ll have to say I have never even had a cooked radish before. I make this soup today and it is wonderful. My husband thought the radishes were red potatoes! He eats very few vegetables so when he wanted seconds I was surprised and as there were no potatoes or carrots in the soup. Great recipe.
Easy Low Carb CH says
Thanks for sharing Jeanne! So happy to hear how much your husband loved the soup!
Shirley says

Tessa Murphy says
This was a delicious recipe and I LOVE discovering that radishes taste like potatoes when cooked. Next I’m going to try roasting them.
