Stovetop Instructions:
Notes
Use homemade chicken stock if you have some. (4 cans chicken broth is slightly more than 6 cups, but it will be fine)
I first used Turkey Italian Sausage for this soup, but you can use pork sausage if you can't find that.
Use half and half or milk if you prefer that over heavy cream.
Recipe adapted by Kalyn and Kara after a few experiments with various amount of ingredients.

Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
This Zuppa Toscana made with cauliflower is a perfect soup for any low-carb or Keto diet. Soup with bacon and heavy cream would be outside the approved fat guidelines for the original South Beach Diet, but I bet you could make a pretty tasty soup using lower-fat ingredients if you’re a South Beach fan. And South Beach would definitely prefer turkey Italian sausage.
