Italian Wedding Soup
Quick answer
Italian wedding soup is a broth with tiny meatballs, greens and small pasta; the name comes from 'minestra maritata', a 'married' soup of meat and greens.
It has nothing to do with weddings — the meat and greens are the married couple.
Use acini di pepe or orzo for the pasta.

The Breakfast Club Detention
Saturday detention, a varsity jacket two decades past its prime, and a library full of teenagers who did not ask for this. Larry cracks open a book, then cracks open a foil tray — sausage and peppers turns detention into the best study hall of the year.
Quick answer
Is sausage and peppers keto-friendly?
Yes, without the roll. A serving of one sausage link with peppers and onions is about 8 grams of net carbs — the peppers account for most of it. Skip the bread, go light on onion, and it drops to around 5 grams.
