Keto chicken and sausage vegetable soup

I am a huge fan of eating low carb soups and salads all year. Mainly because I can get tons of servings of vegetables and lots of nutritional value without a ton of empty calories. This Keto chicken and sausage soup are one of the simplest soup recipes and chicken recipes for those that do not want to spend all day prepping food. This is the perfect recipe for anyone doing the ketogenic diet also.

4 links Aidells Chicken and Apple Sausage grilled
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 ounces leeks sliced, or green onion
2 cloves medium of garlic sliced
4 ounces ribs celery, sliced (2 stalks)

1. Grill the sausages. While the grill is heating and the sausages are cooking, wash and cut the vegetables and strip then chop the kale into 1 inch strips.

Simmer for 5 minutes and give the vegetables a good stir. Add the chicken broth and water and bring up to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are done to your liking. Slice the sausage and add to the soup just long enough to heat through.
