I was looking for a low-carb option of one of our favorite soups. The cauliflower soaks up the flavor and my hubby didn't notice that it wasn't potatoes!

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Cook the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.

Drain off grease and transfer sausage to a plate.

Cook bacon to the same pot until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove and drain, leaving about 2 teaspoons of bacon grease in the pot.

Add onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Return sausage and bacon back into the pot; stir in chicken broth, water, and bouillon cube.

Season with pepper and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.

Stir in cauliflower and simmer until almost tender, about 5 minutes.

Add kale and half-and-half; simmer until kale is wilted, about 5 minutes.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.
