Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb Italian sausage, sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 bunch kale, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
  • Chopped parsley, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the Dutch oven: Place a Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil and sliced Italian sausage.
  2. Cook the sausage: Cook the sausage slices until they turn golden brown, stirring occasionally. This will take approximately 3-5 minutes.
  3. Sauté aromatics: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and dried oregano to the sausage. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook onions until translucent: Continue cooking and stirring until the onions become translucent, around 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add tomatoes and broth: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, low-sodium chicken broth, salt, and black pepper, mixing everything well.
  6. Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer gently for 15-20 minutes for flavors to develop.
  7. Add kale and cream: Add the chopped kale to the soup and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through for about 1 minute.
  8. Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the Italian sausage with turkey sausage or tofu sausage for a different flavor or vegetarian option.
  • Red or white onion can be used instead of yellow onion for more flavor variation.
  • If minced garlic is not available, garlic flakes or store-bought chopped garlic in olive oil can save time.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes add umami, but fresh or canned diced tomatoes work as alternatives.
  • Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms to enhance nutrition and flavor.
  • For a spicier twist, add red pepper flakes or use spicy Italian sausage.
  • Make it vegetarian by substituting sausage with plant-based alternatives and using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • This soup pairs well with keto garlic bread, fresh green salad, or a cheese platter.
