Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound compliant Italian sausage (sugar-free, nitrate-free)
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium Russet potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 6 cups chicken broth (Whole30 compliant)
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat, unsweetened)
- 2 cups kale, chopped with stems removed
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the compliant Italian sausage to the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fully browned. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot, followed by the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Once the potatoes are tender, use a potato masher to partially mash some of the potatoes directly in the pot. This will help thicken the soup while leaving some chunks intact for texture.
Stir the cooked sausage back into the pot, along with the chopped kale. Let simmer for 5 minutes until the kale is wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the coconut milk. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through, ensuring not to boil the coconut milk.
Season the soup with sea salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful, Whole30-compliant Toscana soup!
