If you’re looking to cut carbs while enjoying a heartwarming soup for dinner, this Tuscan keto soup recipe is definitely the way to go!
Our Tuscan Keto soup is made with easy-to-find ingredients you may already have in your fridge or pantry:
- Italian sausage: In bulk or removed from the casing. You can substitute the Italian sausage with lean ground turkey or chicken.
- Onion: Onion gives that sweet, robust flavor that makes the base of the Keto soup.
- Garlic: Always a lot of fresh garlic! Use garlic powder, 1 or 2 teaspoons if you don’t have fresh garlic at hand.
- Sundried tomato: Add incredible flavor to the soup. If you want to cut more carbs, use diced fresh tomatoes instead,
- Oregano: A mild seasoning herb that brings up these wonderful Mediterranean flavors. Use Italian seasoning if you like, but keep in mind the flavor might be stronger.
- Whipping cream: Makes the keto soup creamy and helps raise the fat content for keto dieters.
- Chicken broth: Make sure to use low-sodium chicken broth. Sausage is usually salty enough, so do not add too much salt to the recipe.
- Kale: Lacinato or dinosaur kale is fine for this soup recipe. Be careful with store-bought chopped kale; the stems can be mixed with the leaves.

This has been my go to soup recipes for the last year! It’s a favorite in my home. I recently started adding white or red kidneys beans and it tastes delicious!

My husband and I love this recipe. We didn't have sundried tomatoes on hand the first time around, so we used fire-roasted canned diced tomatoes. Delicious! Also, my body dislikes Kale, so we substitute it with spinach. I also like to add diced radishes to make the soup heartier and keep it low-carb. They're great potato dupes.

This wa the most delicious soup I have ever had. I put more oregano seasoning than asked and garlic. I also added baby spinach but the kale was my favourite! I also cooked in my crock pot on high for 4 hours and waited last 20mins to put the cream in. Highly recommend this recipe.
