Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb ground Italian turkey or poultry sausage, casings removed
1 medium onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
4 cups chicken bone broth
3 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced
1 bunch curly kale, stemmed and torn
1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the ground turkey sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried basil, oregano, and thyme, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the sliced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Stir in the coconut milk and kale. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the kale is wilted and vibrant.
Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors improve the next day as the potatoes absorb the broth. This soup is completely dairy-free, gluten-free, and Whole30 compliant.
