Ingredients:

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 cup chopped onion

1 1/2 tbsp. chopped garlic

5 links raw lean Italian turkey or chicken sausage, casings removed

6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

20 oz. (about 2 medium) russet potatoes, cubed

5 cups chopped kale

5 cups frozen cauliflower florets, thawed

1 cup fat-free milk

1/2 cup light/reduced-fat cream cheese

Directions:

Place oil in an extra-large pot, and bring to medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1–2 minutes.

Add sausages, and break them up with a spatula. Cook and stir until browned, 4–5 minutes.

Add broth, potatoes, and kale. Bring to a boil.

Reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until potatoes and kale are mostly tender.

Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine thawed cauliflower, milk, and cream cheese. Puree until mostly smooth and uniform.
