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.
