One of my favorite soups to eat is Italian wedding soup. Unfortunately, I found out, in my early 30’s, that I have a gluten allergy. So I haven’t had Italian wedding soup in a LONG time! Over the years, I have developed a low carb lifestyle. First, I did the Keto diet for about three years. However, due to issues out of my control, I can no longer follow the Keto lifestyle. So I am continuing my low carb eating, but with Weight Watchers (WW). I came up with this low carb Italian wedding soup recipe that is perfect on WW.

Low Carb Italian Wedding Soup
Delicious recipe for a low carb Italian wedding soup. It's Weight Watcher and Keto friendly.
Ingredients
For Meatballs
- 1 lb Ground Venison
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Basil
For Soup
- 8 Cups Chicken Broth
- 1 1/2 Cup Spinach
- 2 - 2 1/2 Cups Riced Cauliflower
- 1 Med. Celery Stalk
- 1/2 Cup Carrots
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tsp Onion Powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Mix the ingredients for the meatballs and set aside for a moment. Place the chicken broth and seasonings in a large stock pot and bring to a boil.
-
While waiting for the broth to boil, make your mini meatballs. I used about a tablespoon of ground venison for each meatball.
-
As your broth is beginning to boil, add the carrots, riced cauliflower and celery. Once the broth is at a full boil, add the meatballs one by one. Turn your heat down so it's a slow boil for 30 minutes.
-
Check to make sure your meatballs are done. Add the spinach and allow to cook for about 2-3 minutes longer.

Low Carb Italian Wedding Soup
You guys, this low carb Italian wedding soup is so good! If you are following Weight Watchers, one serving of this soup is 1 point! Keto followers, I put the info in my favorite carb counting app, carb manager, and you can see the macro information below. Obviously, like any recipe, you will want to recheck with the specific ingredients you use.
I had quite a difficult time finding the cauliflower crumbles. My local Target store used to sell them. I wish they still did. The type of cauliflower crumbles they sold were slightly bigger pieces, which is what I really wanted for this recipe. However, I used what I could find. I would not use frozen cauliflower rice. It may be too mushy in the soup.

Other Soups to Try
Soup is probably my favorite things to make and eat. This Chorizo Chicken Soup Recipe is my absolute FAVORITE Keto friendly soup. I plan on trying to recreate it in some way to make it Weight Watcher friendly. Other soups you will want to make are:

The Best Beefy Cabbage Soup Recipe EVER!
is a must have. I used the ice chopper to lift and break up the ice. The kids then went behind me and shoveled up the ice. It’s definitely an ice storm tool you need to have.
to clear off your car windshield. Clearing the windshield on my Explorer is hard enough with my short arms, but add in the thick ice I was dealing with today, and it’s impossible! Unless you have a telescopic ice scraper. I’m telling you, I fought getting one for so long (why??? I have no idea), but when I finally got one, it was life changing for me. At least life changing during the winter!
