A truly delicious soup that everyone will ask you to make again!
Mad Creations Minestrone Soup recipe Flavour Cookbook

This Keto Minestrone Soup was originally created for one of my cookbooks, but because I believe this is one of the most perfect recipes I have decided to release it for free.

When first sent out to the testers I knew I was completely onto a winner when everyone kept testing over and over again.  Sadly I was kind of hooked onto it as well.  While the soup does have a bit of carrot and tomatoes in it (raising the carbs a little) I ate this soup part of a regular meal plan and lost weight every single week at a good rate.  I have included this soup in the meal plan I am creating today for our 365 members, and adding to the site for them is what prompted me to release this recipe to everyone.

The chorizo sausage used in this recipe is the fresh kind, not unlike a normal sausage, but with loads more flavour.  Fresh chorizo sausages are available in some supermarkets in the meat section or at specialty butchers.

Mad Creations Authentic Keto Fresh Chorizo

Fresh chorizo is a very versatile ingredient that has so much flavour packed into it.  If you cannot find any fresh stuff, and don’t wish to make your own you can still use the dried variety but you will need to dice it all rather than meatballs.

Originally this recipe was made with a vegetable stock paste but I have swapped it out for broth for a more nourishing soup.

To reduce the carb content of the soup, (7g net carb) you can reduce the vegetable content and increase the meat, however I feel the flavour would change significantly and this soup is that good that personally I don’t want to play with it too much.

I hope you love this recipe for many more like it including this one in hard cover you can purchase the Flavour cookbook in store today with a free shipping option.

Cheers

What to Serve with Keto Minestrone

Keto Pasta – what is Minestrone without pasta? Since I originally wrote this recipe I created a fab keto pasta recipe. Mkae some and add bite size pieces to this insanely delicious keto soup.
Best Keto Bread is the perfect dipper for this soup. I love it toasted and slathered in butter and Vegemite.

    My husband made this today with bacon bones, whilst I rest up from my return from an operation. It was absolutely delicious with my husband and daughter loving it. I didn’t get any photos due to the operation.

    This soup is AMAZING. My house smells like an Italian Restaurant, my mouth is salivating and I cant believe how easy this soup was to make AND its not even cooked yet. Thank you Megan xx

    Just made this tonight for the first time stovetop and quadrupled the recipe for freezer meals. I blitzed the chorizo in my thermomix and just pan fried the crumble rather than making meatballs (because I’m lazy) and added a little bit extra capsicum as I needed to use up the one I was using and couldn’t quite fit enough water in my pot for the quadruple quantity, but it turned out great and is a hit with the family! This one is going straight to the every day meal folder. Thanks Megan!

    Is there a version of this recipe that doesn’t require a Thermomix? Not everyone has one!
