Ingredients
- 1 pound mild Italian sausage
- 1 ¼ teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 5 (13.75 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ bunch spinach, tough stems removed
Instructions
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and red pepper flakes; cook until crumbly, browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease and transfer sausage to a bowl.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook bacon in the same pot until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain, leaving a few tablespoons of drippings in the pot. Stir in onions and garlic; cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth; bring to a boil. Add cauliflower and boil until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium. Stir in heavy cream and the cooked sausage; heat through. Mix spinach into the soup just before serving.

Reviews
I used my ninja Foodi to cook all in one pot, smells amazing and tastes delish! Thanks for sharing this recipe! I’ll be using again!
Delicious, Thanks!
You will be full and still want more!
This is a great hearty filling Keto soup! The broth and the cream have a wonderful taste! I used sliced up mini Barese sausage because we love those. Will make again!
Great soup! I made it dairy free. I omitted the cream and to give more body I mashed 3 florettes of steamed cauliflower and added to the broth.
I changed the original recipe quite a bit, from making this wonderful soup in the past! I made my own turkey Italian sausage (not a fan of store bought), instead of heavy cream I substituted coconut milk, and used kale instead of spinach! AMAZING! Will for sure make again!
This is the perfect soup on a cold winter night. I had chicken Italian sausage so that is what I used . will defiantly make this again sprinkled some Parmesan crisps on the top for extra favor.
I left out the bacon (not a bacon lover) and used more broth than called for (to feed a big family) and it was fabulous. It’s spicy with the crushed red pepper, so cut the pepper in half if you like it a little milder. My kids (12, 13, &14) loved it, too.
I really like this recipe. It is the same as Super Delicious Zuppa Toscana, with the cauliflower being subbed out for the potatoes. I had made the other recipe and didn’t like it as much as I had hoped, so for this recipe, I used hot Italian sausage and omitted the red pepper flakes. It made all the difference for me!
