One of my favorite winter meals before I adopted a low carb diet was a bowl of cheesy potato soup with crumbled up sausage balls. Oh my word, it is heavenly. If I close my eyes I can almost taste it now.

Sadly, it has been an incredibly long time since I’ve eaten that meal. I genuinely miss it. Partially because it was one of those suppers where literally no-one complained about eating. I know you know what I’m talking about.

However, the other day my little food blogger lightbulb went off in my head and I had the novel idea to recreate that meal into a low carb and keto friendly recipe. This creamy keto sausage ball soup is what happens when you marry potato soup and sausage balls. Enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner- it’s really that delicious!

My favorite way to eat this creamy keto sausage ball soup is with a slice of my keto cornbread and some shredded cheddar cheese on top. If I am serving this soup for supper, I like to add a robust salad alongside our cornbread. If you’re enjoying this for breakfast, try putting a fried egg on top!

To make in the crockpot: follow steps 1 and 2. Cook on low for 5 hours or high for 3 hours. When there is 30 minutes left on the timer, add the cream cheese and stir. When the timer goes off, follow steps 4 and 5.
