Let’s talk about our sausage!

You have some great options for the kind of sausage you use in this soup. You can use either ring sausage or sausage links, but you’ll want to make sure it’s fully cooked sausage. Depending on how the sausage is prepared and what ingredients are added to it, the carb count can vary quite a bit. So you’ll want to check your nutritional labels when buying to make sure there are no added ingredients you don’t want, and to ensure your sausage is low in carbs. I like to use sausage that has 1 net gram of carbs or less per serving. For my soup, I used smoked sausage which combined beef and pork. Alternately, you can use beef, chicken, pork, or turkey sausage. You will want to cut it into bite sized pieces and fry it up before adding it to the soup.

What other ingredients go into this low carb smoked sausage zucchini soup?

We start with sauteing diced peppers and onions in butter and olive oil. I used an orange bell pepper, but you can use any color or color combination you’d like for your soup. I added 2 minced garlic cloves, but you can add more if you’d prefer. For our delicious broth, we combine chicken broth with petite diced tomatoes. I used chicken broth, but beef or vegetable broth would work great too. For the tomatoes, if you want larger pieces, you can use regular diced in place of the petite diced tomatoes. I sliced my zucchini and left the pieces whole. Alternately, you can go a step further and cut you slices into bite size pieces if you’d like. Our ingredients bring such awesome flavor, we only add a few things to further season our soup. We simply add some fresh parsley, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

What are some ways I can serve this low carb smoked sausage zucchini soup?

This is a satisfying soup that can be served as a meal in itself. It’s a great soup option for lunch, brunch, or dinner. If you’d like, you can top your soup with some additional fresh chopped parsley or with some fresh grated or shaved Parmesan cheese. You can also serve your soup with some keto biscuits, cornbread, or English muffins. Add a salad and you’ll have an amazing soup and salad meal! A Caesar salad is always a great choice! You can also serve this soup with a burger, keto sandwich, or lettuce wrap. Adding this soup as a side for keto casseroles is also a great choice!
