Sausage, Cauliflower, and Kale Soup
A warm, hearty soup featuring Italian sausage, cauliflower, and kale; perfect for cozy nights.
Ingredients
For the Soup
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, depending on your taste)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 head of cauliflower, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups kale, stems removed and chopped
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil, for sautéing
Instructions
Cooking
- In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up as it browns. Cook until it's no longer pink—about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the sausage is browned, add the onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Stir in the cauliflower, followed by the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring everything to a gentle simmer and let those flavors mingle for about 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
- Stir in the kale, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let this simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Give your soup a taste; adjust the seasoning if needed. Ladle it into bowls, and enjoy!
Notes
For best texture, avoid overcooking cauliflower. Substitute kale with spinach for a quicker cook time. Feel free to add leftover veggies.
