Keto-Friendly Beefy Minestrone Soup

Step 1

Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to a heavy bottom pot and turn the heat on to medium-high. Add the stewing beef that's been cut into smaller chunks, and brown in batches if necessary.

Step 2

Add the onion, garlic, and celery and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 3

While this is cooking, prepare the kale. Wash it thoroughly and remove the leaves from the stems. Roughly chop it.

Step 4

Put the low-sodium beef broth, a whole 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes, tomato paste and kale into the pot with the beef, onions, and carrots.

Step 5

Simmer over low heat, covered, for about 20 minutes or until the beef is tender.

Step 6

Add the remaining veggies and your favorite Italian seasoning blend, and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Step 7

Season with 1 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper, or to taste. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and dig in!
