Keto Zuppa Toscana

Keto Zuppa Toscana is a Keto friendly version of the famous Tuscan soup! It’s filled with kale, bacon, sausage, roasted cauliflower immersed in a creamy broth. Even people not following the Keto diet LOVED this recipe. It’s delicious, guilt-free comfort food.

Keto Zuppa Toscana

According to Wikipedia, traditional Zuppa Toscana is made with “kale, zucchini, cannellini beans, potatoes, celery, carrots, onion, tomato pulp, extra virgin olive oil, salt, powdered chili, toasted Tuscan bread, and rigatino”.

The Keto version incorporates most of the same ingredients except for the ones not allowed on the diet. 

Personally, I’ve tried both versions and I like the Keto version better! I’m starting to get back into the Keto diet again and this easy and delicious soup has made a few appearances at dinner time in my home.

Instead of potatoes, Keto Zuppa Toscana uses roasted cauliflower. Have you tried roasted cauliflower? OMG, it’s amazing! I’m not a big cauliflower fan, but I absolutely adore it when it’s oven-roasted. Yum!

How to Make Keto Zuppa Toscana

The first step is to roast the cauliflower. Place the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Roast in the oven for 35 minutes at 375F. Set baking sheet aside when it’s done.

While the cauliflower is roasting, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium high heat. Remove the sausage from its casing first! Stir frequently, until browned. Drain the fat and set aside. If you don’t remove the extra fat, the soup will be too greasy.

Grab a big pot and cook the bacon over medium high heat. Remove the bacon from the pot, but save the bacon grease in the pot. You’ll need it for the next step of the recipe.

Add onions to the bacon pot and saute over medium high heat for 4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder, to desired taste.

Add chicken broth and cooked Italian sausage. Cover and simmer over medium low heat for 20 minutes. 

Add the roasted cauliflower, cooked bacon and heavy cream to the pot. Cook an additional 5 minutes.

Turn off the heat and stir in kale. Cover and let soup sit for 20 minutes so the kale wilts. Serve and enjoy!
