It’s that time of year.
So, we’re halfway through winter. The holidays are past, and the cold is beginning to wear on everybody’s nerves. (Unless you’re one of those super-happy-to-be-freezing-all-the-time people.) What does this time of year call for?
Soup. Lots of it.
In my family, we have soup for dinner just about every night. It’s souper (ha!) easy, my kids don’t have to ask me a million times what’s for dinner (yep. it’s soup. again.), and it gets us all comfy and warm before bed. Plus, with all the hearty broth and stock consumed with soups, it’s healing for our guts. Which is always good, since that generally means the rest of our bodies will be healthier too.
Soupy favorites.
Since we eat so much soup, we definitely have a lot of favorites. Cauliflower soups are at the top of the list, but here are a few others my family really enjoys…
- White Chicken Chili in the Instant Pot or Slow Cooker
- Beef & Kale Soup in the Instant Pot
- Cheesy Bacon Lentil Stew
- Creamy Roasted Red Pepper, Sausage & Cauliflower Soup
- Quick & Easy Veggie Lentil Soup
Sage & Sausage Cauliflower Soup
As far as the sausage goes, you can use any kind you like. I’ve used organic breakfast sausage straight from a local farm, spicy Italian sausage from my mommy, whatever! You could even do chicken sausage if you don’t like pork. It’s all good in this soup.
In the recipe card I’ve linked to some of the products from my affiliate partners that I like to use. Purchasing through these links won’t cost you anything extra. Thanks!
Sage & Sausage Cauliflower Soup
Free from grain, gluten, eggs, dairy, and sugar.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 onion
- 2 T. coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, or ghee, if you can handle it
- 1 qt. chicken stock
- water, to cover
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 T. minced garlic
- 1 t. oregano
- 1/2 t. dried sage or 1 T. fresh sage, chopped
- 1/4 t. paprika
- Himalayan salt & black pepper, to taste
- 6 organic sausage (I like Applegate Farms, but you can use whatever, just make sure it’s sugar-free!)
- optional coconut milk, enough to make the soup your desired consistency – about 1-2 cups (I like to make my own)
INSTRUCTIONS
Dice up onion and add it to a large stock pot, along with the oil/ghee. Sauté over medium heat until caramelized (about 10 minutes).
Meanwhile, chop washed cauliflower into small-ish chunks.
Add cauliflower to the onions when they’re done, then cover with stock, water, herbs, and spices.
Bring to a boil, then simmer until cauliflower is tender.
While cauliflower is cooking, fry up your sausage.
Add sausage and remaining ingredients to soup.
Note
You can use leftover sausage for this recipe, too. Just add it in after the cauliflower is cooked.
Sausage and Cauliflower sounds great. I pinned this one. Yummy!
Thanks Amanda! It is yummy! 😉
Thank you for linking this to What'd You Do This Weekend, Raia. This looks awesome and hearty. Hope to see you next week with another delicious dish.

Thanks Linda!
Hi Raia! I'm stopping in from Let's Get Real today. This soup certainly does look delicious and I love how easily it comes together. That is perfect for this Juggling Mom. Do you really eat soup every night? I wouldn't have thought to do that, but there is so much nutrition tht you can pack into soup and so many varieties. It makes perfect sense.
Hi, thanks for stopping by! Yes, we usually do eat soup for dinner every night – it's a great way to eat up veggies that need to be used, or even our leftovers from lunch! And yes, it's usually full of nutrition, especially when the base is a good broth or stock. Our dinner exception is Mondays, which is family pizza & a movie night. 😉
Yum! This looks delicious! I can't wait to try it!
Thanks Jen! I hope you like it! 🙂
I love this recipe! I can't wait to try it. Stopping by from the Simple Saturday Blog Hop : )

I make a lot of soup in the winter too. Today for lunch, I made a Chicken Tortilla Soup with extra veggies. I like your Sausage and Cauliflower soup, I like the combination of flavors. I pinned it for later. I'm stopping by from the Let's Get Real Friday Link Party. Thanks so much for linking up and sharing this with us. I hope you'll join us this Friday.
Thanks for stopping by and pinning Nicky! I'll be sure to link up again. 😉

ok, you make your own coconut milk?? How do you do that? I made a cauliflower soup last year and it immediately became a favorite. I'm excited to try this version now. It sounds delicious.
Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friday
