| 1.5-3 g | Xanthan gum (optional) |
Optional garnish: Grated Parmesan, to taste (source gives no amount).
Conversion estimates: 1 lb sausage = 454 g; half a medium onion = 55 g; red pepper = 2 g/tsp; minced garlic = 9 g/tbsp; bacon = 28 g/raw slice; broth = 240 g/cup; cauliflower = 107 g/cup; cream = 238 g/cup; kale = 21 g/loosely packed cup; xanthan gum = 3 g/tsp. Actual weights vary.
Source note: This adaptation uses kale instead of spinach. Beef bone broth is an alternative in the source. More cauliflower makes the soup thicker; it is otherwise chunky.
