A low-carb soup works best when it still feels substantial and comforting. Sausage and cauliflower make that possible here without leaning on flour or potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb sausage
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 cup cream
- 2 cups spinach
Instructions
- 1
Brown the sausage in a pot and remove any excess grease if needed.
- 2
Add the onion and cook until softened.
- 3
Stir in the cauliflower and stock and simmer until the cauliflower is tender.
- 4
Add the cream and spinach and cook briefly until the spinach wilts.
- 5
Season and serve hot.
