    Ingredients for keto cabbage soup

    First things first, let’s gather up those ingredients. You’ll need some green cabbage (savoy cabbage works, too), olive oil, onion, garlic, vegetable broth (or chicken broth if you prefer), tomato paste, black pepper, and some spices like Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and Worcestershire sauce for that extra flavor. Don’t forget to add some leafy greens like spinach for an added vitamin C boost!

    How to make cabbage soup

    Now, there are many ways to cook this soup. You can use a large pot or Dutch oven on the stove top, or even toss everything in a crock pot or instant pot for a slow cooker cabbage soup or pressure cooker version. Whichever method you choose, the general idea is to sauté your veggies, add the rest of the ingredients, and let it simmer to perfection.

    If you’re looking to make this soup even more filling, consider adding some ground beef or ground turkey for a meaty twist. Or, if you’re going for a vegetarian option, throw in some cauliflower rice or riced cauliflower as a low-carb substitute. You could even toss in some smoked sausage, chicken breast, or bone broth to switch things up.

    And for my fellow keto dieters, this recipe is just what you need! With only 6g net carbs per serving, this keto cabbage soup recipe fits right in with your low-carb lifestyle. Plus, you can add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or some green onions for extra yumminess without the extra carbs.

      Olivia the cabbage soup recipe does not list how much sausage should go in the soup although listed in the title.
      Maybe you can revise the recipe. Thanks

        Hi Margaret, sorry about that. I meant for this recipe to be just a traditional cabbage soup base that could be easily added to. I need to rework this recipe soon. In the meantime, you could add 12 oz of cooked sausage and it will add about 5 carbs to the entire recipe.
