Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower, chopped
- 1 pound of Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 cups of kale, chopped
- 1 cup of heavy cream or coconut milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Brown the sausage: Add the minced garlic and the Italian sausage to the pot. Break up the sausage as it cooks, stirring occasionally until browned, around 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add cauliflower: Stir in the chopped cauliflower, mixing well, and then pour in the broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
- Incorporate kale and cream: Add the chopped kale and the heavy cream (or coconut milk) into the pot. Stir until everything is well combined and allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Season to taste: Season with salt and pepper to suit your preference.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the flavors are melded and the soup is warm, it’s ready to serve. Feel free to garnish with herbs or Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
