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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes, adjusting to taste. Stir well to combine the flavors.

Step 7

Serve hot in bowls and enjoy this hearty, keto-friendly soup!
