Low-Carb Zuppa Toscana

Low-Carb Zuppa Toscana
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (such as Jimmy Dean®), casings removed
  • 6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 2 (32 ounce) cartons chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon (such as Knorr®)
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 5 cups chopped cauliflower florets
  • 3 cups stemmed and chopped kale
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


  1. Cook the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off grease and transfer sausage to a plate.
  2. Cook bacon to the same pot until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and drain, leaving about 2 teaspoons of bacon grease in the pot. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Return sausage and bacon back into the pot; stir in chicken broth, water, and bouillon cube. Season with pepper and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Stir in cauliflower and simmer until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add kale and half-and-half; simmer until kale is wilted, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.
