Keto Version of Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana Soup (Low-Carb & Delicious)

 

๐Ÿฅฃ Keto Version of Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana Soup (Low-Carb & Delicious)

If you've ever sat down at Olive Garden and fallen in love with their rich, creamy Zuppa Toscana, you're not alone. But if you’re living the keto lifestyle, the original is loaded with carb-heavy potatoes and broth.

Great news: You don’t have to give it up. ๐Ÿ™Œ

With a few smart swaps, this Keto Zuppa Toscana keeps all the comforting flavor — creamy, spicy, and satisfying — without the carb overload.

๐Ÿฅ“ Keto-Friendly Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Italian sausage (hot or mild – check for no added sugar)

  • 4 cups cauliflower florets (instead of potatoes – fewer carbs, same great texture)
    Tip: Trader Joe’s frozen riced cauliflower works too — just thaw before using!

  • 4 cups chicken broth (look for low-sugar, organic)

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 3 cups chopped kale

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ onion, finely chopped

  • Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste

  • Optional: Bacon bits for topping

  • Optional: Add parsnips (white carrots) if you want a soup to look like it has potatoes in it, but be careful about the amount of carbs if using in recipe

๐Ÿ”ฅ Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, brown the sausage. Remove and set aside.

  2. Sautรฉ onion and garlic in the sausage drippings until fragrant.

  3. Add cauliflower and broth. Simmer until cauliflower is tender (10–15 mins).

  4. Return sausage to the pot, stir in cream and kale. Cook until kale is wilted.

  5. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

  6. Serve hot with crumbled bacon, if desired!

  • This freezes great — perfect for keto meal prep!
