    Is Cabbage Good on the Keto Diet?

    With only 3 net carbs in a whole cup of cabbage, it is perfect for Keto! Cabbage is full of fiber, extremely low carb and makes the most delicious Keto dishes, like this Eggroll in a Bowl and this Keto Fried Cabbage with Bacon!

    Besides all that, it's also a nutrient dense veggie. Cabbage is rich in vitamin B6 and folate but is also loaded with vitamin c, which we all know hosts so many health benefits you can read all about in the article on Healthline.

    Can You Freeze Cabbage Sausage Soup?

    You sure can, which makes it a great meal prep option. For best results, allow the soup to cool to room temperature. Transfer it to a freezer-safe bag, squeezing out any excess air, then place the bag on a flat surface in the freezer. It should stay fresh for up about six months when frozen properly.

    Cabbage Soup Variations and Add-ins

    One of the things I love about making a big pot of soup is you can add or take away any ingredient you prefer. Here are some popular variations:

    Types of Sausage: Though smoked sausage provides the most flavor, you can use any type of sausage you prefer. You can even use browned ground Italian sausage. Chicken or turkey sausage links work well with this soup also.

    Chicken or Beef: If you're not a fan of sausage, you can use rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken instead. Another option is using ground beef, just be sure to brown it first.

    Tomatoes: This recipe calls for regular, canned diced tomatoes. But for added flavor you can use fire roasted or diced rotel tomatoes.

    Herbs: Change up the flavors with your favorite herbs. Sage, marjoram and bay leaves tastes great with cabbage and sausage.

    Veggies: If you are worried about the few carrots in this soup recipe, you can certainly omit them. Just keep in mind, you are only eating ⅛th of a carrot per serving. If you'd like to add other low carb veggies to this recipe, cauliflower chunks, mushrooms, sautéed bell peppers or green beans are options you could consider.

    Which Sausage is Best for Keto?

    Most any type of sausage is Keto friendly, but it’s the brands you have to watch out for. Not all brands are made using healthy ingredients. Make sure you read the label and look for sausage with zero carbs, zero added sugars and no maltodextrin, an ingredient that can be very inflammatory and can spikes blood sugar.
