Ingredients
- 2 links smoked sausage about 1/2 pound
- 4 strips bacon
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced carrot
- 1 clove garlic small clove
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced red bell pepper
- 4 cups chicken broth low/no sodium
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp dried chives
Instructions
- Sautee the bacon, onion, carrots, and celery for about 8 minutes or until the bacon is slightly brown and the veggies are starting to get tender.
- Slice the smoked sausage and add to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, releasing some of the fat from the sausage. Add the garlic, red bell pepper, and cauliflower. Add the dried thyme and stir for one minute.
- Add the low sodium (or no sodium added) chicken broth and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and continue to simmer for about 15 minutes or until the veggies are soft.
- Add the cream and dried chives and stir well. Check for salt and pepper, then ladle into cute bowls and enjoy!
