Keto Italian Sausage Soup Tips
This is a super-simple soup that you can make even when you are busy or rushed. These tips will help it turn out perfectly every single time.
- Shred parmesan cheese at home. Not only will it taste better, but you won’t have to worry about extra anti-caking ingredients they add to packaged shredded cheese.
- Use full-fat cream cheese. It’s best for your low-carb diet and keeps you Thin-Adapted. If you can’t find cream cheese, use Neufchâtel cheese instead.
- Use spicy or hot Italian sausage to give this soup some kick.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The creamy sauce will solidify in the refrigerator. Heat it up and it will melt again.

This soup tastes SO yummy. I used to love the italian wedding soup at Olive Garden, and this soup reminds me of that a little bit- except WAYYY better! It’s so satistfying and filling, and it will definitely be a staple of our winter cooking this year!!
This soup is delicious and comes together easily. I’ve made it twice now and it will be in regular rotation!
I forgot to add the 5 stars!
This was really good! I had 2lbs of ground pork, so added seasonings to make it sausage and doubled the recipe, kept my fingers crossed that it would be a hit with Hubby, since I was making so much. It was! It was easy to make, too! We eat light for supper, so this worked out really well. We will enjoy leftovers!
I need to know the maker of the bowl with the handles you used in this picture! It’s so cute! I haven’t tried the recipe yet but plan to soon! I will leave a review for that when I do!
Easy and delicious!
One of the easiest n best tasting soups I have ever made. The taste is amazing. Fresh from the garden.
Omgosh this is so good! I added mushrooms and used leftover homemade meatballs instead of Italian sausage.
I LOVE this soup! It’s hard to stop eating it.
my sister is coming for a visit and I want to fix it for her. one big problem would be the roasted tomatoes. she has diverticulitis so cannot eat any seeds. wonder if I could substitute and it would still be decent soup?
