Keto Zuppa Toscana Soup
Keto Zuppa Toscana Soup is not your typical soup! It is creamy, hearty, filling and a little spicy. Using Italian sausage in this Keto Soup loads it with flavour and warmth.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 500 grams italian sausage casing removed
- 1 pc turnip peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 pc red onion diced
- 4 pcs rachers of streaky bacon
- 1 tsp garlic paste or garlic clove
- 4 stalks kale leaves stems removed
- 500 - 750 ml chicken stock/broth
- 1 cup cream room temperature
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ - 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp chilli flakes or more to taste
Instructions
- Dice the bacon. In a large, deep saucepan, heat 1 tb oil over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon until just starting to crisp up.
- Add the remaining oil and cook the sausage until just browned, breaking it up with a spoon as you go.
- Add the onion, garlic, pepper and chilli flakes.
- Continue cooking for 2 - 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Add the sliced turnip and stir through the meat for 1 minute until coated.
- Pour in the chicken stock and reduce to a simmer.
- Simmer until the turnip is just soft, around 15 - 20 minutes.
- Add the kale and stir to combine, then slowly pour in the cream while stirring (it should be at room temperature, this helps it stop splitting).
- Check for seasoning (salt, pepper and chilli) and serve as soon as the kale is wilted to your liking. Serve with additional chilli flakes if you like some heat!
