Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound keto-friendly sausage
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 celery stalk, sliced
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cups cauliflower florets
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside. Discard most of the fat from the pot, leaving about 1 tablespoon.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are starting to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced zucchini, green bell pepper, and cauliflower florets to the pot, stirring everything together.

Step 7

Return the sausage to the pot, then pour in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth.

Step 8

Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the soup for 25-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach leaves until wilted.

Step 11

Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy!
