Notes

  • Use double the broth, cream, and water for a less chunky soup that better serves ten.
  • Sausages used : Bockwurst, Schublig, Hungarian
  • To speed up the recipe prep, you can pre-chop the broccoli and cauliflower or use frozen pre-chopped veggies.
  • You can easily swap out the sausage and bacon for a plant-based option for a vegetarian version.
