Sausage and Kale Soup
 | |||||
| I LOVE THIS SOUP! |
This is tasty and hearty and keto. The creamy, rich broth is so satisfying I've probably made this 3 times in the last month. It's quite easy to make so, enjoy!
Sausage and Kale Soup
- 1 lb. sweet Italian sausage, ground
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 1 tsp. dried rubbed sage
- ¼ to ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 3 cups kale, chopped
- ½ to 1 tsp. sea salt, or to taste
- ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1. Heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add ground sausage, breaking up the meat. Cook, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
2. Using a slotted spoon, remove cooked sausage and allow to drain on a plate covered with paper towels. Discard drippings, but do not wash pan.
3. Melt butter over medium heat. When bubbling subsides, add onion and carrot. Cook until onion begins to brown on the edges and becomes somewhat translucent.
4. Stir garlic into onion and carrot mixture. Cook one minute. Add red wine vinegar and cook until syrupy, scraping up browned bits-about 1 minute.
5. Stir in oregano, basil, sage and red pepper flakes. Pour in stock and heavy cream. Increase heat to medium high.
6. When soup reaches a simmer, add cauliflower and turn heat down to medium-low. Simmer uncovered until cauliflower is fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in kale and cooked sausage. Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer, or until kale wilts and the sausage is reheated.
7. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The amount of salt needed may vary due to variation in brands of broth.
