Instructions:
- In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced kielbasa sausage and cook until browned and slightly crispy. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and sauté for a few minutes until they start to soften slightly.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the dried thyme and oregano. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook until the cauliflower is tender.
- Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until you reach your desired consistency. You can leave some chunks for texture or blend it completely for a smoother soup.
- Stir in the heavy cream and the cooked kielbasa sausage. Let the soup simmer for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Keep in mind that the kielbasa sausage can be quite salty, so adjust the seasoning accordingly.
- Once the soup is heated through and the flavors are well combined, remove the pot from the heat.
- Serve the Keto Kielbasa Soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
