Sausage Soup with Peppers and Spinach ~ Keto Soup Recipe

Keto soup recipes are few and far between because traditionally, soups are filled with starchy ingredients. This keto soup recipe for Sausage Soup with Poblano Peppers and Spinach is a great addition to your keto diet soup arsenal especially as we get closer to winter.  

Chilly temperatures are approaching which usually means lots of soups and stews. This can be a problem for keto dieters. Traditionally, those on a ketogenic diet stay far away from most soups. 

This is so because a true keto diet only allows 20 – 50 grams of carbohydrates daily and soups are usually loaded with starchy ingredients such as potatoes and beans.

Thankfully, a high fat diet means you can swap out the starches for delicious keto diet friendly ingredients like cheese and your favorite meats. The best keto soup is one that is quick and easy to make and tastes even better for leftovers. 

This keto soup recipe will allow those on this low carb diet to enjoy a delicious, warming soup without all the carbs. It features your favorite premium pork sausage, loads of herbs and spices and Poblano peppers for a powerful flavor.

Keto Sausage Soup with Poblano Peppers and Spinach

A delightfully flavorful keto friendly soup that is quick and easy to prepare and perfect for meal prep. 

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 lb pork sausage (Italian works)
• 1 medium red pepper (diced)
• 1/2 medium Poblano pepper (diced)
• 3 celery stalks (diced)
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1.5 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• sea salt and black pepper to taste
• 6 cups organic sugar-free chicken stock
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup Cheddar Jack cheese (shredded)

1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is no longer pink inside, approximately 5 minutes. As the sausage cooks, break it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. 
2. Add the red and Poblano pepper, celery, basil, oregano, rosemary, chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon to the pot. Generously season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally until the veggies have softened, around 5-6 minutes.
