Do you love Tuscan soup?
Tuscan Soup, also known as “Zuppa Toscana,” is a recipe originating from Tuscany, Italy.
This style of soup is traditionally made with ingredients such as sausage, potatoes, and beans.
However, in order to make a keto friendly version of this delicious dish, we made a few simple substitutions that will keep you burning fat in the Keto Zone!
First, we switched out processed pork sausage for organic chicken breast. Next, we omitted potatoes for 1 large organic carrot. Lastly, we left out the starchy beans in favor of more delicious low-carb vegetables!
