Low Carb Zuppa Toscana
This copycat version of Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup is low carb and gluten-free with keto Italian sausage, bacon, cauliflower, and spinach. It is the perfect hearty soup for the cold fall and winter nights!
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon diced
- 1 pound keto Italian sausage
- 1 teaspoon organic garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon organic onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Mediterranean oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- pink salt
- cracked black pepper
- 8 cups chicken bone broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 head cauliflower chopped into bite sized pieces
- 10 ounces baby spinach
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Heat a large heavy-duty pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add chopped bacon and cook until it renders the fat and the bacon begins to crisp.
- Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and save it on a paper towel-lined plate
- Crumble the sausage into the pot and, using a silicone spoon, begin to break up the sausage and allow it to cook, stirring occasionally until it has fully browned.
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, bone broth, bay leaf, and chopped cauliflower. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a rapid simmer and cover, cook until the cauliflower is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaf, return the bacon to the pot, and add the spinach and stir until it begins to wilt about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the cream. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
