    Store leftovers in the fridge for a few days for up to a few days.

    Can I Freeze Keto Cauliflower Soup with Sausage?

    Sure you can! In fact, this is a fantastic meal prep idea. Make a double batch and freeze some for later. Just allow the soup to cool to room temp, place in an airtight container and stick in the freezer for up to a couple of months.

    Before you're ready to serve it, thaw it in the fridge over night then heat slowly in a sauce pan. That's it!

    Is Cauliflower Keto?

    Cauliflower is sometimes called a Keto super food. That's because it's low carb, high in fiber and contains some of almost every vitamin and mineral that you need including high amounts of vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant known to fight inflammation.

    Tips for the Best Sausage on Keto?

    While sausages are mostly protein, spices and healthy fat, it can contain binding ingredients that are not encouraged on Keto. It is always important to read the nutrition label on any pre-packed meats. Here are a few tips to help you make the best selection:

    • Added Sugar – Make sure the label on the sausage has either low or no sugar. Look out for all sugar-it has many names.
    • Check out the Listed Carbs – A pretty good rule of thumb is to select one that has 1 or less gram of carbs listed. That's a good indication of any no-no additives some brands have.
    • Look for Grass-Fed Sausage – If your local markets carry organic or grass-fed, that is usually your best bet. Keto is not just about low carbs, its about clean ingredients.
    • Consider Online Shopping-Today, there are several farms that offer organic and grass-fed meat deliveries. Do a little research on what their shipping conditions are and read the customer reviews. A lot of times, some of the larger farms will offer seasonal sales or promotions which is a great time to stock up.

      Hello, I made the Soup today. I did not use cauliflower, I used broccoli instead. I thought of broccoli and cheese soup. I did not have a lot of cheddar cheese, so I used colby jack cheese (shredded), I added Mrs. Dash tableblend seasoning. I put in the whole 32 oz of chicken stock. I use a low sodium chicken stock ( from Aldi or Walmart - can't remember for sure) I used skinless smoked sausage, also bought at Walmart. Just want to let you know, I am from Pittsburgh, PA. I followed the directions of how to cook the soup. It turned out amazing. This is a keeper. Pinned it to my Pinterest collection.

      I made this tonight with a few modifications, and boy was it delicious. I am lucky to live in NE Pa so I was able to get some locally made single smoked kielbasa for my sausage. Then because I wanted bigger portions with lower calories, I increased the stock to four cups and reduced the cheese to 1/2 cup. This gave me 4 servings of almost 2 cups each at 490 calories and 6.4 net carbs according to my calculator. You can never have too much cheese, but this was still delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
