Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 6 large garlic minced, cloves
- 1 pound Italian sausage or Italian chicken sausage, sweet/mild or hot
- 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste
- ¼-½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 cups potato chopped in half then in 1/2 in chunks - about 4-5 medium potatoes, gold or russet variety
- 4 cups chicken broth plus more as needed, or chicken bone broth
- 1 .5 oz can coconut cream or coconut milk
- 4 cups curly kale de-stemmed and chopped
- Bacon for topping (optional, cooked
- Parmesan Cheese for serving (optional, freshly grated
Instructions
- Add oil to a dutch oven or large pot and heat over medium heat. Once hot add onion and salt and sauté for 6-7 minutes until fragrant and translucent. Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 more minutes.
- Add sausage, Italian seasoning, black pepper and red pepper flakes and cook for about 10 minutes until sausage is cooked through and browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Add potatoes, broth and coconut cream. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 25-30 minutes until potatoes break down slightly and are fork-tender.
- Add kale and simmer for about 5 more minutes until kale is wilted.
- Serve hot topped with bacon and Parmesan, if desired.

Notes
- Storage: Store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days—it tastes even better as the flavors develop! For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month, but keep in mind the potatoes may get a bit mushy. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove when ready to enjoy.
