Life just feels simple and comforting in the Fall, and many of our evening meals become one-pot soup recipes because I find soup to be one of THE VERY MOST economical, warming, EASY, and nutritious ways to feed our big family (especially during our colder months).

We’re subbing the traditional white potatoes for cauliflower, and turkey meat for sausage, in this twist on the classic.

Flavor is NOT compromised here.

This is SO SO hearty and DELICIOUS!

Kale could totally be used in place of the spinach for another variation of this soup.

➡️ Rachel’s Tips:

Double this recipe because it’s EVEN BETTER heated up the next day for lunch!Makes about 6 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp olive oil, or avocado oil
• 1.5 lbs. ground chicken or turkey
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste about 1/4 teaspoon each
• 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 large carrots, peeled and diced small
• 4 celery stalks, diced
• 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
• 5 cups chicken bone stock, or broth
• 2 cups milk of choice, I love using unsweetened cashew milk, or coconut milk
• 2 Tbsps gluten-free flour
• 1 small head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
• 2 cups chopped fresh spinach leaves
• 4 slices nitrate-free bacon, cooked and crumbled, as topping; optional

Instructions:

Heat oil in a large dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. Add in your ground meat, Italian seasonings, fennel seeds, and fresh minced garlic.

Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and cook, breaking the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through.

Stir in onion, carrot, and celery then continue to cook for another 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour in your chicken broth, bring soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer.

Add in the cauliflower and simmer until fork-tender, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large jar whisk milk and flour until well combined.

Pour this milk/flour mixture into your soup and continue to simmer for a few minutes more until it begins to thicken.

Add in the spinach and stir just until wilted.

Taste test and adjust seasonings if desired.

Ladle your delicious soup into bowls and sprinkle with crumbled bacon and freshly ground black pepper.

Enjoy!
