It’s starting to cool down, so that means soup season is starting! This Cabbage and Sausage Soup is going to be exactly what you’re going to be craving all fall and winter long! Smoked sausage is combined with chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, carrots and cabbage to make a veggie packed soup that is low in carbs but high in flavor! You’re going to add in onion and garlic powder, paprika and oregano to give this soup a rich, herby flavor with minimal effort.

This cabbage soup has a large serving of both protein and fiber, so it will keep you full. There’s a large serving of vegetables in each bowl, so you can really feel good about feeding this to your family! And the best part about this meal- it’s the perfect weeknight soup!

This meal all cooks in one pot and is ready in only 20 minutes. So you can have this on the table in no time! This recipe is also great for making ahead of time or for keto meal prep!

Ingredients in Cabbage Soup

As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our Cabbage and Sausage Soup. For the complete recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page.

• Smoked sausage- you could also use turkey, chicken, or andouille sausage
• Onion, celery, bell pepper, carrots, cabbage- chopped
• Broth- vegetable, beef or chicken
• Minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano

How do I make this Cabbage Soup recipe?

This smoked sausage soup is ready in only 20 minutes with 3 simple steps!

1. Heat a dutch oven (or large pot) to medium heat and brown your sausage.
2. Add the minced garlic, onion, celery, bell pepper and carrots. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in the broth, cabbage and spices. Simmer soup for 10-15 minutes and top with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips for the best Cabbage and Sausage Soup

• To make this recipe even faster, prep everything before hand! Chop up your sausage and veggies so that when you’re ready to cook, all you need to do is pop everything into your dutch oven!
• If you only have a large pot, that will work fine for this recipe. You may have to brown your sausage in stages, so that you can be sure you’re getting a good browning on all sides.
• If you wanted to use a different type of sausage, that would work fine! I also think this recipe would be good with ground beef or pork.

What should I serve with Sausage Soup?

One of the wonderful things about this soup is that it’s so filling- the large amount of veggies and protein will do that! But if you wanted to add some sides, I think Cheddar Garlic Keto Biscuits or Rosemary Garlic Keto Dinner Rolls would be delicious, but check out my list of Keto Bread Recipes for more yummy low carb bread recipes! You could also add a Keto Soup Topper to your sausage soup! 

How to Store and Reheat Soup

To store this soup, allow to cool and transfer to a plastic or glass container with an airtight lid and store in the fridge. This soup will stay fresh for up to five days. To reheat, you can either microwave in 30 second increments until hot enough for you, or on low heat on the stovetop.

Can I freeze this Cabbage and Sausage Soup?

Yes, you can! Allow this soup to cool completely and add to a freezer bag- I recommend using these bag rack holders to make the process much smoother. Lay on a sheet pan and allow the bags to freeze laying flat, so the bags will be easier to store. Once frozen, remove from the sheet pan. To heat from frozen, allow to thaw in the fridge overnight and then warm on the stove top. Do not refreeze.

Is this good for meal prep?

I love this recipe for meal prep. Simply prepare ahead of time and store in a microwave safe container so you can warm it up anywhere. This soup is hearty and filling and will keep you feeling full and satisfied!

I love fall. Chunky sweaters, football and it always smells like a fire outside. One of my other favorite things about fall is the FOOD. I’m obsessed with the flavors of fall but even more so, I love the warmth that fall foods seem to give you from the inside out. Y’all know what I’m talking about, right? Fall foods are just so….comforting. When I decided to start my keto journey, it was earlier in the year. When fall came around, I knew I had to make my favorite fall foods keto friendly.

I’ve made a Keto Chili, Keto Chicken Tenders, White Chicken Chili and Easy Keto Sausage Stuffing all succumb to my keto requirements- high on flavor, low on carbs. But we all know that ultimate fall favorite- Broccoli Cheddar Soup.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup is, in my opinion, the perfect food. Filling, warm soup that melts in your mouth as you eat it? Perfection. And this Broccoli Cheddar Soup with Chicken is no exception.

Ingredients for Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup

The soup is naturally low-carb, vegetarian and keto-friendly. Also, this is a one-pot meal that comes together in about 20 minutes!

• Butter
• Vegetables: Onion, Garlic and Broccoli
• Chicken Broth
• Shredded Chicken
• Cheese: Cream Cheese, Cheddar Cheese
• Heavy Cream
• Salt and Pepper to taste

How to Make Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup?

• Melt the butter in a dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for about 2 minutes until the onions are translucent. 
• Add the finely chopped broccoli (remember, no big pieces!) and pour in the chicken broth. Stir and cover, reduce the heat to medium low and allow the broccoli to simmer about 15 minutes or until tender. 
• Stir in the cubbed cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese and heavy cream. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and the cheese has melted. 
• Fold in the shredded chicken and add salt and pepper to taste! 

Can you meal prep Broccoli Soup?

This Broccoli Cheddar Soup is perfect for meal prepping and stores and reheats well. Your whole family will love this keto-friendly soup! Remember, the dairy will separate as it cools. So stir your chilled soup well, microwave in 30 second increments until warmed through and stir well again. 

Can I freeze this soup?

Dairy does not freeze well, so you can prepare this dish without the cream cheese, heavy cream and cheddar and freeze. When removing from the freezer, allow to thaw at room temperature until you can squeeze it from a freezer bag. Heat over medium low heat and add the cream cheese, cheddar and heavy cream. When the soup is smooth and heated through, serve. 

What to Serve with Broccoli Cheddar Soup

We all know what a delicious soup needs- bread! Fortunately, there are many low carb bread options! These are some of my most delicious keto-friendly soup sides for you: 

• Keto Bacon Cheddar Chive Biscuits
• Keto Three Cheese Biscuits
• Keto Pretzel Bites with Cheese Sauce
• Rosemary Garlic Keto Dinner Rolls

I’m happy to introduce you to your new favorite soup recipe! This Keto Italian Sausage Soup has everything you want in a dinner. It requires one pan, minimal prep and is so delicious even your pickiest eaters will love it! The flavors of this soup will remind you of your favorite pasta dish. It has flavorful Italian sausage, tomatoes, tender kale, and salty Parmesan cheese. 

Ingredients for Keto Italian Sausage Soup

As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients you will need for this soup. To get the complete recipe and instructions just keep scrolling.

• Ground Italian sausage: you can use a mild, sweet or spicy variety. If you have Italian sausage links, simply remove the casing and brown.
• Vegetables: onions, bell pepper, garlic, kale
• Canned goods: fire roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, and broth.
• Heavy cream
• Cheese: Cream cheese and shredded Parmesan

How to make Keto Sausage Soup

This is such an easy, comforting dish to make. While some soups require loads of prep work or need to simmer long periods of time, this soup requires minimal prep and comes together in a pinch!

• First, in a large dutch oven or stock pot brown the Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking up and crumbling as you go. Drain the grease and add the chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic and sauté about 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
• Next, add the drained fire roasted tomatoes, the tomato paste, and broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
• Reduce the heat and stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream. When the cream cheese has dissolved, stir in the chopped kale.
• Lastly, serve with freshly grated parmesan or Romano cheese for the perfect hearty low carb soup!

Tips for the best Keto Soup

• Allow the flavors to meld. This is a great soup to make ahead of time because it only gets better as the flavors come together. This soup will stay fresh for 3-4 days and reheats easily!
• Prep your ingredients. Allow your cream cheese to come to room temperature before adding to the soup. This just helps it dissolve and blend into the soup easier.
• Chop the kale. Remember when prepping the kale you want to chop it pretty small so you have nice small bites mixed in throughout the soup. Long, stringy pieces of kale will not make for the best texture.

Can This Soup Be Frozen? 

Soup is always a great candidate for freezing, although different ingredients may require specific considerations.

For this low-carb cheeseburger soup, make sure to slightly undercook the vegetables if you know you will be freezing it. This is key if you want to avoid them becoming soggy when the soup is reheated. It’s also a smart idea to leave out the cheese until reheating to avoid it splitting or curdling in the freezer.

For the ultimate in convenience, you can freeze your soup in individual portion sizes. Not only does this avoid wastage, but it will also allow you to simply grab your soup and reheat it quickly and without fuss when you’re in a rush!

Tips for Making Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

• Make sure to chop your vegetables nice and finely for enhanced taste and a more authentic ‘cheeseburger’ texture.
• Take your cream cheese out of the refrigerator and let it warm to room temperature before adding it to your soup. This will allow the cheese to melt better for an irresistible smooth and creamy texture.
• Don’t forget your toppings! If you love to load your bowls of soup with fun toppings, you can add additional chopped bacon, shredded cheddar green onions, tomatoes, or pickles!
