I have been tinkering with some of our favorite recipes and seeing if I can convert them to low carb. I had a hunch that our Crock Pot Zuppa Toscana Soup would be a good candidate to test. I switched out the potatoes in the original recipe for chopped cauliflower and gave it a whirl.
It was a hit!
Mikey says he likes it better than the original.

Notes on Low Carb Crock Pot Zuppa Toscana Soup
- We used our Ninja Slow Cooker to make this dish so that we could brown our meat in the unit before slow cooking. However, you can use a regular slow cooker and brown in a skillet ahead of time.
- We figured this recipe at 540 Calories and 5 Net Carbs per serving based on the ingredients we used. As with any of our recipes, calorie counts, carb counts and additional nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
