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!
