    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Jump to Recipe

    This sausage and kale soup is packed with flavor! It’s also loaded with vegetables (carrots, celery, and kale!) to make it a healthy, hearty, and cozy meal. You can use any kind of sausage. I use chicken or turkey sausage, but you can definitely use pork or a vegetable sausage. It’s a delicious and filling meal to get you through the colder months!

    What ingredients do I need to make this?

    • Olive oil
    • Garlic
    • Yellow onion
    • Italian sausage (no casing) - Can use turkey, chicken, pork, or plant-based
    • Red pepper flakes
    • Celery
    • Carrots
    • Low sodium chicken broth
    • Potatoes
    • White beans
    • Kale
    • Coconut milk (full fat)
    • Salt
    • Pepper
    • Optional for topping: parmesan

    If I want to make this vegetarian/vegan, can I use plant-based sausage and vegetable broth?

    Yes! That will definitely will work for this soup. Use your favorite plant-based sausage and enjoy!

    Can I use cream instead of coconut milk?

    Yes, that will work to make the soup just as creamy.

    What size should I cut the carrots and celery?

    Bite-sized. I like bigger chunks, while I know some people prefer smaller, so it’s up to you!

    How do I store/re-heat this soup?

    Keep it in a covered, air-tight container and store in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. To re-heat, simply microwave or place in a pot on the stove until the soup is at your desired temperature.

    • 2 teaspoon red pepper flakes more to taste

    • Stir occasionally until onion is translucent (about 10 minutes), then add in sausage, breaking up and cooking until cooked through (about 5 minutes). Depending on the type of sausage you're using, you may need to drain excess fat after the sausage is done cooking.
