Instructions
Place a medium skillet over medium heat. Take the sausage out of their casings and break up on skillet. Cook over medium heat until browned and done. Put on back burner to cool.
While the sausage cooks, place the onions with the butter in a stewpot and cook on medium until clear and tender, stirring frequently.
Add in the garlic and cook for one minute, or until garlic is fragrant.
Add in the chicken bone broth, water, and bouillon cube and turn the heat to medium-high.
After the bouillon cube dissolves and the water is simmering, add the cooked sausage and the cauliflower.
Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and breaks easily with a fork.
Add in the heavy cream, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Add in the kale, stir to combine, and let simmer for 5-10 minutes until the kale becomes a bright green and wilts a little.
At this time, remove from heat and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serve in large bowls topped with freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano. Bon appetit!
Notes
* — The quality of broth is key in this recipe. We recommend one that's high in protein and collagen for added benefits, such as this product by Kettle & Fire.** — We prefer a bouillon with no artificial flavors and all-natural ingredients, so we recommend the BOU brand. Feel free to use whatever favorite bouillon you have!
A Microplane grater is such a handy tool for grating parmesan. It finely shreds the cheese into fluffy mounds that will melt quickly and look beautiful on the plate. Bonus is that this tool is great for zesting citrus, as well!
