Nothing beats a comforting low carb soup on a cold dreary day. This classic Italian Wedding Soup is sure to hit the spot!

Low Carb Keto Italian Wedding Soup Recipe

So it kinda sorta snowed in Portland yesterday. By which I mean it really wanted to snow but couldn’t quite muster up the energy. There weren’t really visible flakes in the air unless you looked really hard in exactly the right direction with your eyes half-crossed. It seemed like it was really just rain. It But when the raindrops hit my windshield, they hit heavily and left something of a melting snowflake impression. It wasn’t even sleet or freezing rain, it was just Pacific Northwest rain that wanted to be snow but didn’t quite know how. It did actually snow up in the hills near the zoo, but down here it was only kinda sorta snow that didn’t leave a trace on the ground.

 

The best low carb Italian Wedding Soup, full of grain-free meatballs and cauliflower rice!

It was cold though. The kind of wet cold that chills you to the bone. The kind of wet cold that chills you to the bone and makes you dream of warm comforting soup. Warm comforting soup like Italian Wedding Soup, with luscious meatballs and plenty of parmesan cheese. Only skip the pasta, please, and pop in some cauliflower rice. Now you’ve just amped up your nutrient quotient and managed to warm yourself up. The perfect meal for a day when it kinda sorta snows.

Warm up with this healthy low carb Italian Wedding Soup.

All that’s pretty great, but what if I told you that you could also win this gorgeous soup tureen from Lagostina? It’s a stunning double-walled stainless steel pot that can go from stove to table, it looks so nice. An elegant design with an ash knob so you can lift the lid with your bare hands, no matter how hot it is. The pot itself is also oven-safe, although the lid is not because of the wooden handle. It also comes with a stainless ladle and an ash polenta stick. Ostensibly, this pot is designed for two classic Italian dishes, minestrone and polenta. But it’s truly a multipurpose soup or stewpot. And it retails at Williams Sonoma for $199.

Lagostina Stew Pot Giveaway

I will be honest and say I’d never heard of Lagostina until I was offered this pot to try. But I’ve poked around a bit and they have some absolutely gorgeous cookware. My experience with the line thus far is extremely favourable. My stove is very high-powered and I often have trouble when I try to sauté onions and other veggies, as they brown too quickly. But the double-walled design of this pot helped me soften them without browning, which is ideal for a soup like Italian Wedding.

    My go-to low-carb soup is a good vegetable beef soup with plenty of low-carb veggies, bay leaf, and Italian seasonings. I use radishes instead of potatoes or other starchy ingredients, along with tomatoes, onions, celery, green beans, cabbage, and whatever seems good at the time. We used to call this “Day-Before-PayDay Soup” because we sort of threw in whatever was left in the fridge.

I love when the weather is brisk/wintery so I can enjoy a soup like this (although perhaps with some eggplant “meatballs” in place of the meat for me)!

    I love soup and my favorite is Tuscan Vegetable Soup. I top it with parmesan and diced avocado. So delicious.

    My favorite comfort soups are top ramen or potatoe cheese. Most people may think ramen is a strange choice but it’s what my dad made when I was sick as a kid- he want much of a cook – and it brings back fond memories.

    I learned how to make Matzo Ball Soup from a Jewish friend 4o years ago and still make it by her recipe today. I find it so comforting.

    I wish I could get my husband to eat meatballs, or spinach. This looks yummmmm. My go to soup lately has been creamy broccoli or broccoli cheese.

    Now I need to make Italian meatball soup. It’s been too long! My favorites lately are lemon lentil and minestrone.

    Chicken and dumplings (which is on the menu again with mozzarella pasta) -and a generous sprinkling of Pecorino Romano has always been a go-to for comfort, especially when I’m feeling under the weather. The pot looks beautiful!

    This soup was wonderful, of course! All your recipes work out so well for me. My family loved it, and the generous portion of meatballs even allowed for leftovers with a little extra broth added.This one will be a “regular” in our home.

    This is SO good. My non-paleo/primal/low carb hubs loved it. He helped with the meatballs … kept saying he didn’t feel it was going to be good because of the almond flour. Uh huh. Nonetheless. He’s a good sport. He tried the soup and had seconds. This soup is perfect. Thanks for hitting another one outta the park.

    This was delicious. My Italian grandmother prepared Wedding Soup for us every Christmas Eve until she passed away a few years ago. This was very similar to hers…I think the celery is the key. Will make every year from now on! I did make one minor switch…I used Miracle Rice instead of the cauliflower, but I am sure it is equally delicious either way. Leftovers were even better the next day! Hope you have a blessed holiday and new year!

    Made this soup last night and loved it! Next time I’ll add more cauliflower and spinach because I like a more stew-ish consistency.

    This is the first recipe of yours that I have made…..came across it accidentally, and I was so excited when I found it because even though its Texas temp was 38 this morning, and just called for soup…..and I so love when I have all the ingredients on hand…it came out so tasty…..made as written except through in a parm rind in …hubby and I have been doing keto for 4 months now….I love cooking I just struggle with technology and no matter what app I have tried to use to figure out a nutritional chart for what I cook I just cant figure out how to do….so I am so happy I found you and after this flavorful first recipe and all the nutritional info at my finger tips ….I went straight to Amazon and ordered your book…I am so excited about this…I have a cookbook addiction…unfortunately most are unusable with this. WOE so I am happy to find you…

    Rich, delicious, filling AND low carb. It can’t get much better than that. Thank you for the great recipe. This is now on our list for favorite soups. The addition of cauliflower rice instead of the traditional acini di pepe worked brilliantly. I used chard instead of spinach and 8 cups of homemade broth. We are looking forward to leftovers.

    Nice recipe. Never made Italian wedding soup before! Cauliflower was a delish addition.

    CHEATED with frozen Talluto’s Soup Size Italian Style Meatballs. Never had them before. I got them from Acme in Maryland (in case anyone can find them). Not super low carb, but MIGHT fit into some people’s diets: 250 Cal, Serving Size 85g, Fat 20g, Carb 5g (Fiber 1g), Protein 13g. Contains breadcrumbs.

    So, funny story… I bought these mini meatballs as a lunch option for my nephew… but, over the course of 3 days, that Italian boy never picked them. What to do? lol… Italian wedding soup. Easy enough.

    Yes, I know, I ignored the meatball portion of the recipe. Major substitution. That being said… Next, time… If I used frozen meatballs again, I’d increase the chicken broth from 6 to 8 cups (and use homemade instead of boxed; the broth needed more fat/richness). Instead of spinach, maybe kale or collards?
