Ingredients
Instructions
- Sauté the Kielbasa: In a large pot, brown the sliced kielbasa in butter or oil. Remove and set aside, leaving the flavored drippings in the pot.
- Cook the Aromatics: Add onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and softened.
- Add Cauliflower & Broth: Stir in the cauliflower. Pour in chicken broth and smoked paprika. Simmer 12–15 minutes, until cauliflower is tender.
- Make It Creamy: Add heavy cream + almond milk. Stir in cream cheese until melted and smooth. (Or sprinkle xanthan gum and whisk until thickened.).
- Add Kielbasa Back In: Let everything simmer together for 5 minutes so flavors blend.
- Season & Serve: Taste and add salt, pepper, and extra spices if desired. Top with chives or more cracked pepper.
