Low Carb Creamy Italian Soup is the ultimate comfort food that doesn’t compromise on flavor or health.
When the temperatures drop, there’s nothing more satisfying than a warm bowl of soup. But, so many soups are full of carbs and unhealthy. This healthy, hearty option fits into a low-carb lifestyle and is the perfect recipe to try. It has such a wonderful flavor of using everyday ingredients and a smooth creamy texture everyone will love.
Let’s see what makes this soup so special.
Basil, oregano, and garlic work together to create an aromatic base, while Italian sausage adds a savory punch. I tried regular sausage, but the Italian version, which is readily available in stores, makes a big difference. Instead of using regular canned tomatoes, I used Rotel tomatoes for another flavor kick. Every spoonful delivers a taste of Italy, making this soup a feast for the senses.
I know the biggest question is how am I using pasta in this recipe? I use Kaizen’s low-carb pasta. It has that lovely pasta texture that we all crave being low carb. The creamy base is achieved using heavy cream and parmesan cheese to help thicken the base.
cooking Tips
1. Any Italian sausage will work. Whether it comes in casings or not, they will have that Italian flavor this recipe needs.
2. Don’t overcook low carb pasta because it will get very mushy.
3. Cooking the soup as long as you like is just a preference. I love cooking soups for a couple of hours to really marry those flavors together.
Simple Ingredients
One of the best things about this recipe is it’s simple to make with simple ingredients. You don’t need an extensive list of ingredients to create something amazing. Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need:
- Italian sausage (mild or spicy, depending on your preference)
- Garlic and onion for a flavorful base
- Low-carb pasta (I use Kaizen low-carb pasta)
- Chicken broth for richness
- Heavy cream and parmesan cheese for creaminess and thickness
- Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste
