Frequently Asked Questions
What Can’t You Put Into A Whole30 Soup?
There are a few ingredients that you need to avoid to ensure that your soup remains Whole30-compliant.
The main ingredients that should not be used in a Whole30 soup include dairy, this means no milk, butter, or cheese that isn’t vegan-friendly.
You should also avoid grains in your soup, so no rice or bulgar wheat. Legumes are another item that shouldn’t be used in your soups.
Legumes include any kind of bean. This is particularly important to remember if you are making taco or stuffed pepper soups as it can feel natural to add them.
Finally, it is important to make sure that you don’t add any extra sugar to your soups. This can be a difficult one, especially if you are making tomato and basil soup.
When making a regular tomato soup, sugar is often added to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.

Hi, my name is Justin Roberts and I like to live by one major rule in life – health is wealth. And where does all health stem from? The food choices we make.
I grew up in a not-so-wealthy household that often struggled to get food on the table.
The food we did eat was cheap, holding no nutritional value at all. I’m talking frozen foods, carbs, fats, and very little fresh produce.
I am fortunate enough to have made a life for myself where the money for food is no longer an issue, and I have spent the majority of it looking into healthy foods and different diets to try.
The most notable is keto and paleo. I am also interested in only using whole foods wherever possible – call it trauma!
As a professional chef, I now create recipes surrounding these diets every day. My family are my tasters, and I strive to make my recipes as budget-friendly as possible.
I hope that you’ll find some inspiration for healthier meals from my website. I want to create a catalog of recipes that you can come back to time and time again. Enjoy!
