Paleo Creamy Kale, Sausage and Sweet Potato Soup

1. In a soup pot over medium heat, start browning your sausage.

2. Chop up your bacon and add that to your sausage when it is mostly browned or you can cook in a separate pan. When meats are cooked, take pot off of heat and drain the grease. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.

3. In the same pot add your veggies (onions, mushrooms, and sweet potatoes) to the water and chicken stock. Let that cook for 10 minutes while simmering then check the softness of the sweet potatoes.

4. Then add your kale and cook for a couple of minutes so it can wilt.

5. Add your coconut milk (or choice of milk) and simmer (see note).

6. Then add your sausage and bacon.

7. At this point I added some garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

8. Enjoy!

Note: I recently saw a question regarding this recipe using coconut milk. It is only used because it gives this soup that milky creaminess. In no way, shape or form does it taste like coconut nor does it bring any sweetness. Because you want the creaminess, I would recommend that you not use light coconut milk. The type I usually use is the Thai Coconut Kitchen. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions!
