KETO IN 30 MINUTES RECIPE: Italian Sausage Soup

---

This cozy soup has a wonderful kick to it that will keep you extra warm on those chilly nights. I love the slightly spicy Italian sausage inside that gives it a great kick. I also love to add a generous amount of parmesan cheese on top ;)

The original version uses Spinach, but you can also use kale. I make this soup a lot, especially in the fall and winter paired with a nice big salad.
