Instructions

  1. 1
    Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add turkey sausage and cook, breaking apart, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  2. 2
    Stir in diced onion. Sauté for 3 minutes or until soft. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Add sliced potatoes, chicken broth, water, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. 4
    Stir in kale and add coconut milk or skim milk. Simmer, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes until kale wilts and soup becomes creamy.
  5. 5
    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with parsley and extra red pepper flakes if desired.
