Keto Italian Wedding Soup

14 ratings

This is a classic, favorite soup - no wedding required! The keto version of Italian Wedding Soup is not far off from the original recipe. A fragrant broth baths handfuls of chopped spinach and little homemade meatballs. Instead of tiny egg noodles, cauliflower rice makes the perfect substitute!

Recipe Steps

steps 7

30 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees and line a large sheet tray with aluminum foil. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, first amounts of salt and pepper, the onion powder, parsley, egg, and parmesan cheese.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Turn the meatball mixture into 16, 1-inch mini meatballs. Each one will weight just over half an ounce. Arrange the meatballs on your sheet tray.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Bake the tray for 20 minutes in the oven. After baking, you can easily scrape away any unwanted fat drippings with a spoon.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    While the meatballs are baking, mince the cloves of garlic. Toss them in a large pot with the olive oil over a low heat. Cook for about 30 seconds, so the garlic can become fragrant and slightly toasted.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Pour the chicken broth into the pot. Bring the pot to a low boil. Then, stir in the remaining ingredients.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Let the soup simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes - long enough for the spinach and cauliflower to become tender and blend with the flavors of the broth. At this point, you may add the meatballs into the soup, or you may leave them set aside for serving.
    Step 6
  • Step 7

    For serving, set 4 meatballs in the bottom of 4 bowls. Each bowl gets 1 cup of soup. Enjoy!
    Step 7

      People, try with sorrel instead of spinach and add one cooked chopped egg.

          I wonder why spinach is used instead of escarole.

              Really good but holy that’s too much pepper:// I added half a teaspoon and that was too much. Better to use whole black pepper seeds. Also used water instead of broth to cut down on sodium.

                I could eat this morning, noon and night! Husband wasn’t a fan of the riced cauliflower but that just leaves more for me! Double the meatball recipe - used pork - now can make a quick soup next week!

                  We enjoyed this soup. Doubled the recipe for the meatballs and froze the extra for quick soups in the future.

                    I will make this again, but I will at least halve the pepper. I like spicy, but holy pepper!

                      For me, way too much pepper. I would suggest 1/4t pepper in meatballs and 1/8 t pepper in broth . And I like spicy foods. Otherwise, it’s delicious!!
