Crock Pot Creamy Kale & Sausage Soup Soup
Description
Crock Pot Creamy Kale & Sausage Soup begins by browning turkey Italian sausage in avocado oil to develop a golden crust and deepen flavor, then breaking it into smaller pieces. All ingredients — browned sausage, chopped kale, garlic cloves, drained sun-dried tomatoes, chicken broth, full-fat coconut milk, and dried herbs — are combined in a slow cooker. The mixture cooks on high for 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours, allowing flavors to meld and the kale to soften without losing texture.
The coconut milk adds creaminess without dairy, and dried oregano and parsley contribute a mild herbal complexity. The garlic and sun-dried tomatoes introduce gentle pungency and tang, balancing the sausage’s richness. The resulting soup is hearty and nourishing, with tender kale pieces suspended in a smooth broth.
This soup serves well as a warming meal in cooler weather. Its rich texture and savory taste can stand alone or be enjoyed with crusty bread or a light side salad.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 lb turkey Italian sausage
- 1 kale lacinato variety; whole head
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 coconut milk 15-ounce can, full-fat
- 1 tsp oregano dried
- 1 tsp parsley dried
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
Instructions
- Begin by browning the sausage. To do so, add avocado oil to a cast iron (or stainless steel or non-stick) skillet and heat to medium. Place the sausage on the hot skillet and brown 2 minutes.
- Flip and brown another 2 minutes, until sausage has a nice golden-brown sear on it. Break up the meat using a spatula and cook another 30 seconds or so. There’s no need to cook the sausage all the way through.
- Plug in your slow cooker and add the browned sausage, along with the rest of the ingredients for the soup. Stir well. Secure the lid on the crock pot and set on high for 4 hours (or low for 6 to 8).
