Low Carb Beef And Daikon Radish Soup. Having worked in and having had restaurants, one of the staple soups has always been beef and macaroni. Not anymore. Soups can be just as flavorful and full of low carb goodness without potatoes or macaroni or any other high carby vegetable for that matter. Trust me as I have now eaten low carb for 8 years. Over those years I have come to realize that daikon radish is the perfect substitute for potatoes. It has its own very mild flavor but totally loses it when cooked and added to other flavors and this low carb beef and daikon radish soup is a perfect example. I have used celery root, and lots of other things in place of potatoes and daikon radish now remains at the top of my list. It is good for crudités, soups of all kinds, it can be roasted, and used in stews. Soooo…this is my ode to daikon radish, and may all you low carbers everywhere use it prodigiously. You don’t need a thickener for every soup and this is one of them-just filled with good stuff. There is a kind of secret ingredient and…it’s the Lawry’s Seasoned Salt so, if possible please use it. I left some of the cheese off so you see a bit of what the soup looks like. Now, I can’t make a daikon radish look like macaroni and that’s a fact but-I can make a soup taste so you’ll never miss that macaroni.
