Adapted from The Fast 800 Keto Recipe Book
Our low-carb minestrone keto soup is a hearty all-rounder. With a tasty tomato base, protein-packed edamame beans and chunks of succulent chicken, it’s a wonderfully filling, healthy version of the classic. Great for batch cooking and saving for later, and taking just 20 minutes from start to finish, it’s sure to be a staple in your home once you give it a go.
Minestrone soup may originally be a Mediterranean dish, but it doesn’t have all the nutrients needed for keeping blood sugars low and protecting you from chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, like a Mediterranean-style, keto diet does. This low-carb minestrone, however, has it all… including parmesan cheese to melt on top.
