Ingredients

Soup Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 cup Onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp Garlic, minced
  • 1 pound Ground Italian Sausage
  • 6 cups Chicken Bone Broth
  • 14 ounces Fire Roasted Tomatoes (one 14-ounce can)
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese
  • 1 small Zucchini, chopped
  • 1 tsp Dried Basil
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 4 cups Baby Spinach
  • Shredded Parmesan Cheese, for topping

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics and Sausage: Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and ground Italian sausage. Crumble the sausage with a spoon as it cooks. Continue cooking until the onion becomes soft and translucent and the sausage is browned.
  2. Add Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in the chicken bone broth and fire-roasted tomatoes. Stir to combine everything evenly.
  3. Incorporate Cream Cheese: Add the cream cheese to the pot and stir continuously until it fully melts, creating a creamy base for the soup.
  4. Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Stir in the chopped zucchini, dried basil, dried oregano, and black pepper. Increase the heat to bring the soup to a boil.
  5. Simmer the Soup: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini becomes tender.
  6. Add Spinach and Wilt: Add the baby spinach to the soup and stir until the spinach wilts, which should take about 3 minutes.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with shredded Parmesan cheese for extra flavor and richness.

Notes

  • Use fire-roasted tomatoes for a smoky depth of flavor in the soup.
  • Ground Italian sausage can be spicy or mild depending on preference—choose accordingly.
  • Bone broth adds extra nutrients and richness but you can substitute with regular chicken broth if needed.
  • To keep this keto-friendly, avoid adding high-carb vegetables or starches.
  • For a thicker soup, simmer longer to reduce the liquid or add additional cream cheese.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and freeze nicely for up to 3 months.
