A savory, comforting, hearty soup made with fresh ingredients to soothe both your gut and your soul. A nightshade-free Italian sausage compliments a rich broth and is full of flavor! Paleo, Whole30, and AIP
Note: This serves 2 people with a hearty amount (like for a meal by itself) or 3-4 if served with a side like a flatbread, muffin, salad, etc
Meal Prep: This soup can be made up to 5 days ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Just reheat before eating.
It also is a great soup to freeze AFTER cooking. Let cool and then put into a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze up to 3 months. Then when you want to cook it either let it thaw in the fridge overnight and then reheat, or reheat gently on the stove directly from frozen.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 lb Ground Pork or ground meat of choice
  • 1 tsp dried Parsley
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 medium Onion diced
  • 2 medium Carrots finely diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 bunch Kale chopped stems removed
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk or Tigernut Milk if coconut-free AIP

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large sauce pan or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork, breaking it up with a spatula. Add the parsley, Italian seasoning, sea salt, garlic powder, and onion powder and mix with the pork as you break it up. Cook until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meat from the pan and put it on a plate.
  • Add the onions and carrots to the same pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 5-8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and using the spatula, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the broth to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the chopped kale, the cooked meat, and the coconut milk into the pan. Mix to disperse everything and then simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Serve warm.
