Ingredients

12 oz kielbasa sausage, sliced into half-moons
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
4 cups chicken broth (preferably low-sodium)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped parsley, red pepper flakes

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Kielbasa

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced kielbasa and cook until browned (about 4–5 minutes). Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics

In the same pot, add the onion and cook until translucent.
Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3: Add Cauliflower and Broth

Add the cauliflower florets, chicken broth, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12–15 minutes, or until cauliflower is tender.

Step 4: Blend (Optional)

For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to blend half the soup, or transfer half to a blender and blend until smooth—then return it to the pot.

Step 5: Add Cream and Kielbasa

Stir in the heavy cream and return the browned kielbasa to the pot.
Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.

Serving Suggestions

Top with grated cheddar or Parmesan for extra richness.
Add a sprinkle of parsley or chili flakes for a flavor boost.
Serve with a side of keto-friendly bread or a green salad.
