Sausage & Peppers Soup (Low Carb & Paleo)

If you like stuffed banana peppers you will love this sausage & peppers soup! It’s so easy to make and VERY flavorful. A tasty, warming low carb and Paleo soup.
My husband loves stuffed banana peppers. We grew them this summer and boy did we hit the pepper jackpot. I even made a stuffed banana pepper pasta for him this summer! Anyway my husband did his last harvest of everything from our garden and I had lots of banana peppers, tomatoes, green peppers and jalapeños to use this week so I thought I’d make this delicious (and extremely easy) soup with the banana peppers and tomatoes.  My hubby loved it and I did too. It’s so flavorful without much seasoning. Plus it’s very warming and filling. Perfect for a cold winter day.

Let’s get started with this easy, warming soup! First you want to get your onions, mushrooms and sausage browned in some olive oil. I used hot Italian sausage but if that is too spicy for you, use sweet. I suggest that you keep it Italian though because that’s were you get most of the flavor for this soup. Also I like to make sure the mushrooms slightly browned and the onions translucent. That’s how I like them in soup personally.

Then you add your tomatoes, peppers, broth and bouillon if using. I ADORE Better Than Bouillon (affiliate link) for soups. I learned this trick from a friend along time ago. It adds so much flavor to your soup so I use it often. However if you don’t have any bouillon or don’t like using it, you may want to add some salt and pepper to the soup. Also I used fresh tomatoes not canned but you can use either.
