Creamy Tuscan Soup Recipe (Keto)
Description
This Creamy Tuscan Soup features breakfast sausage cooked until browned and crumbled, paired with a sautéed mixture of diced onion, celery, and garlic that softens and releases their flavors. Roasted red bell peppers are stirred in for sweetness and depth. Cream cheese is melted into the mixture to form a creamy base that, combined with beef stock, creates a rich broth.
After boiling, heavy cream is whisked in, adding softness and body to the soup, which is briefly returned to heat to slightly reduce and thicken. Fresh spinach or arugula is added last to wilt in the warm soup, providing a slight bitterness and bright green color.
This soup is well suited for those following a keto lifestyle due to its high-fat and low-carb ingredients. It serves as a filling meal with a comforting, creamy texture and savory flavor enhanced by the sausage and cheese elements.
