Low Carb Soup | Instant Pot Sausage Kale Soup

This Low Carb Sausage Kale Soup is loaded with protein and flavor and is one of my favorite things to make. It's sort of like having the best part of a spaghetti sauce but in a soup.

This Low Carb sausage kale soup is one of the heartiest soups you will ever make and you will love how meaty and delicious this is. It's super easy to make because you don't have to cook the sausage in advance, or dirty several different pots.

One of the reasons I love my Instant Pot, is the fact that it makes it so simple to make one-pot meals. I take advantage of this so often that my pots and pans feel neglected most of the time.

It's a straightforward one-pot meals where you just pour in ingredients and cook all in one go.

When I'm eating low carb, especially if I'm trying to get back in the Keto saddle, I eat soups like this a lot. They're very filling, they don't feel like a diet food, and since there's such a large amount of liquid I can eat a lot without consuming a lot of calories.

But of course, it's not like we need a REASON to eat soup because...Soup! I love soup every which way.

Other ways to enjoy this Sausage Kale Soup 

So you notice, it looks a lot like hearty spaghetti sauce, right? If you wanted to, you can definitely use it in place of spaghetti sauce, over noodles for non-keto, or over zoodles for keto.

If you find it too thin for your liking, you can add a cornstarch slurry for non-keto, or 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum sprinkled in, to help thicken the soup/sauce. (Spauce?)
