Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb bacon
  • 1 lb Italian pork sausage or 1 lb pork sausage plus 1-2 T of my sausage seasoning mix (https://www.wedigwellness.net/2019/01/16/sausage-seasoning-mix/)
  • 14 oz. frozen cauliflower
  • 1 bunch fresh kale stems trimmed
  • 64 oz. chicken bone broth
  • 1 1/2 T Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 t pink Himalayan salt
  • 1 can coconut milk solids only

Method
 

  1. Cut bacon in bite-size pieces and saute until cooked through.  Drain all but 1-2 T of the bacon fat off.
  2. Add pork sausage to the pot and break into bite-sized pieces. If making on the stove top, completely brown the sausage.  (You do not need to cook the sausage if using an Instant Pot.)
  3. Add all of the remaining ingredients, except the coconut milk, and simmer until the kale is wilted and the cauliflower is soft.  (If using an Instant Pot, use the Manual setting and set the pot for 3 minutes.  You can use the quick release method, but beware, it will take longer than usual to release the pressure.)
  4. Right before serving, add the solids from the coconut milk.
