Easy Keto Tuscan Kale Soup – this low carb Zuppa Toscana Recipe is made with cauliflower and sausage for tons of flavor, not carbs!
If you love Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana, you’ll love our low carb take, specifically designed to not break your macros, but keep you full and warm.
This soup is similar to our Creamy Keto Tuscan Soup Recipe – and a spin off my friend Aimee’s Keto Zappa Toscana Soup.
We’re lowering the carb count and getting down to basics with this soup – and hope you love the rich flavor from adding roasted cauliflower.
Roasting the cauliflower before adding to this soup brings a richer, nutty, buttery flavor – without adding any carbs or calories!
This soup is rich and hearty, delicious, and great as a starter for a delicious keto dinner, served with Pork Tenderloin, Air Fried Steaks, or delicious, tender Broiled Lobster Tails.

How To Roast Cauliflower For Soup
Many Tuscan kale soup recipes that use cauliflower just chop it up and toss it in – which is easy, but misses the rich flavor we’re going for in this dish by lightly roasting our cauliflower before adding to the soup.
We don’t want to overly dry out or cook the cauliflower – since it will cook in the soup as well – but lightly browning in the oven will bring out a delicious flavor that reduces cauliflower’s bitterness.
Chop cauliflower, pat dry with a paper towel, and add to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until lightly browned and softened.

Recipe FAQ’s
It is optional, but strongly recommended to pre-roast cauliflower to add additional nutty flavor – without adding any carbs.
Milk has more sugar than cream, and is not considered a keto ingredient. We’re using cream for this dish to avoid the carbs in milk.
Tuscan soup is a healthy soup – but is not considered low carb because of the addition of beans and potatoes, both of which are high in starches and carbs.
To reduce carbs in our version, we’re swapping the beans and potatoes for roasted cauliflower.
