1 pound Italian sausage (such as Jimmy Dean(R)), casings removed
6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, pressed
2 (32 ounce) cartons chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1 cube chicken bouillon (such as Knorr(R))
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 cups chopped cauliflower florets
3 cups stemmed and chopped kale
1/2 cup half-and-half

Cook the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off grease and transfer sausage to a plate.
