How to make Keto Zuppa Toscana Soup

Unlike a traditional zuppa toscana soup, you’ll want to replace some of those high carb ingredients in today’s recipe.

Start by swapping out the potatoes by using cauliflower. Yes, you’ll know it’s not a potato when you eat it. But, zuppa toscana soup is packed with flavor, and the cauliflower absorbs some of that flavor while also providing a great substitute for potatoes.

Using a large soup pot (like this dutch oven), brown your sausage and bacon together. I chose a mild Italian sausage (without the casings) and a thick sliced bacon. I chopped the bacon BEFORE cooking it to help speed up the process of cooking, and making it easy to assemble and eat.

Add in beef bone broth (or beef stock or beef broth) to your cooked sausage and bacon. Why bone broth? I choose bone broth because it contains collagen which is GREAT for my joints (remember: CrossFit). It sounds gross, but it essentially tastes the same as beef stock or regular beef broth. You could also use chicken broth, chicken stock, or chicken bone broth instead of the beef flavor. Or vegetable broth for that matter. I found that the beef broth has the richest flavor for today’s soup!

Next, add onions, garlic, and cauliflower. For the cauliflower, try to remove as much of the stem as possible, for best flavor. I used one whole head of organic cauliflower.

Cover your dutch oven and cook for about 15 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender. Add in heavy cream and spinach. Yes, the true Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup recipe contains kale. But you guys, I just don’t like the flavor of kale. If you love it, use it. I chose spinach instead because my family LOVES this veggie!

Serve this soup with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and enjoy!

To make this soup, you’ll need:

• 1 lb mild Italian sausage

• 3 cloves garlic
