Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage (ground, mild or spicy according to preference)
- 6 slices Bacon (chopped)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (chopped)
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets (bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 cups Fresh kale (stemmed and torn into pieces)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
In the same pot, add the ground Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it into smaller crumbles with a wooden spoon. Remove the cooked sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside with the bacon. Leave about 2 tablespoons of grease in the pot, and discard any excess.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Once boiling, add the cauliflower florets. Lower the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
Stir in the heavy cream and return the cooked sausage and bacon to the pot. Add the kale and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the kale to wilt slightly.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes, adjusting to taste. Stir well to combine the flavors.
Serve hot in bowls and enjoy this hearty, keto-friendly soup!
