With only two veggies and pre-cooked sausages, this is a realistic weeknight soup meal that gives you bone broth and creamy goodness! Italian Parmesan Sausage Soup is Primal, Keto (with one easy variation), Low Carb and GAPS! You’ll love how fast and easily dinner comes together and how yummy it is!

Sausage and Veggies

Which sausages to buy? Look at your market for Applegate or some other large link sausage that is pre-cooked, like Mulay’s. Or find a raw, sustainably-sourced mild Italian sausage. (If raw, simmer them whole for 12 minutes; they’re now ready for this recipe.)

The season can dictate the veggies. The basics will stay the same, creamy and comforting; but variations can come as veggies come and go. Fresh green beans work well in this recipe for Primal and GAPS; but frozen work well, too, when they’re no longer in season. Cauliflower is pretty easy to find year round; but feel free to substitute in or add veggies: fennel, celeriac, even stewed tomatoes. For Keto and Low Carb, I love using frozen artichokes in place of the green beans, which is also great for Primal and GAPS, and very Italian. 🙂

Parmesan

Parmesan is that excellent, aged cheese that everyone loves, children and adults alike. The fact that it’s aged means the milk sugar in the cheese, lactose, is consumed. This long step is what makes Parmesan suitable for the GAPS Diet. The aging process makes it easier to digest. The aging process is also what gives it that wonderful, sharp flavor.

Leftovers or fresh …

Leftovers of this soup are great, too. So you can make extra and have more than one super easy soup meal!

Serve soup with a side of whole food probiotics, like fresh sauerkraut, and salad, for living enzymes.

To your health and enjoyment!
