Creamy Sausage & Veggie Soup

A nourishing sausage, vegetable and delicious creamy cauliflower broth makes this soup hard to stop eating! Ty and I were so full but still went back for one more scoop. I love how healthy this soup is but also how tasty it is.

It’s a rainy day here at the ranch. April is about to give way to May it’s probably one of our last cool days before summer hits Texas. It’s perfect soup weather.

Soups are one of my favorite things to make. I love a good one pot meal where you don’t have to plan a bunch of different sides to go with the main dish. I also love how easy it is to pack nutritious ingredients in a soup but still have it taste so delicious!

I used turkey sausage but ground chicken or shredded chicken would be so delicious as well and lower the fat content even more.

I hope ya’ll enjoy it!

April showers bring May flowers!
