Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon chopped; sugar-free
  • 1 lb. spicy chicken sausage casing removed
  • 1 cup white onion diced, from 1/2 large onion
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 Yukon gold potatoes peeled and diced
  • 32 oz. chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp water
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 4 cups kale chopped and stems removed

Instructions

  • Cook bacon in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat until crispy; remove with a slotted spoon.
  • To that same pot, add the sausage and cook until browned, then add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, salt and red pepper flakes and saute for 1 minute.
  • Then, add the potatoes and broth and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, then cover the pot and simmer the soup for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, whisk the arrowroot and water together in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Once the potatoes are done, add the arrowroot slurry, along with the coconut milk and kale to the soup. Simmer the soup for 3-5 more minutes until it’s thickened slightly.
  • Divide the soup into bowls, then sprinkle the reserved bacon on top. Enjoy!
