keto minestrone soup

I just had to make a keto Italian Meatball Minestrone Soup recipe. Who doesn&#039;t love a great soup (and meatballs) without all the carbs. I am a big fan of this super easy slow cooked keto soup.

Keto Italian Meatball Minestrone

beef mince

pork mince

Italian seasoning

tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper (to taste)

g butter

olive oil

onion (diced (50 grams))

rashers bacon (diced (100 grams))

chorizo sausage (finely chopped)

carrot (diced (35 grams) optional)

zucchini (diced (100 grams))

tsp Italian Seasoning

tomatoes (fresh

red peppers (finely diced)

tomato paste

beef broth (or stock)

parmesan (grated)

mozzarella

parsley (finely chopped)

basil leaves

In a large bowl place all meatball ingredients. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the seasonings through the mince. The mince needs to be well kneaded to hold together in the soup.

Pinch off a small piece of the meat mixture and gently roll between your hands to form meatballs (about 2 teaspoons each) and place onto a small tray. Continue shaping until all the meat is used. Cover and place into the fridge. Note 1.

Place butter and oil in large saucepan, crockpot, slow cooker or Instant Pot. Heat over moderate heat until butter has melted.

Add onion, bacon, chorizo, carrot and zucchini and sauté until vegetables are softened.

Add paprika, Italian Seasoning, tomatoes, peppers, tomato paste, and broth to bacon mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce to low/slow and add meatballs to stock.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours. See Note 2.

When soup is ready meatballs should very tender. Season well.

Serve with grated parmesan and mozzarella. Garnish with parsley and basil.

CONVENTIONAL / SLOW COOK/ INSTANT POT METHOD

Place all meatball ingredients into mixer bowl and mix 6 sec/speed 10.

Place onion into mixer bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 5. Scrape down sides of bowl.

Add butter, olive oil, bacon, chorizo, carrot and zucchini. Cook 6 min/Varoma/reverse stir. Pour into a small bowl.

Insert Blade Cover. Add paprika, Italian Seasoning, tomatoes, peppers, tomato paste, broth and bacon mixture into mixer bowl. Cook 15 min/Varoma/revers/speed 1.

Place meatballs into soup (careful not to go over the max level). Slow cook/6 hours (TM6) or 99 min/95℃/reverse/speed 1 and repeat.

THERMAL METHOD

If you&#39;re craving a warm, hearty soup that’s full of bold flavours but without the carbs, this Keto Minestrone Soup is a must-try! Smoky chorizo, rich broth, and fresh veggies make this a seriously satisfying bowl of comfort. Plus, it’s easy to make and perfect for meal prep!

Conventional Method

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!

It's delicious! Used smoked chorizo which gave the soup a smokey flavour, yummy.

Delicous I don't miss the carbs at all in this minestrone
