Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage (or vegan sausage)
  • 1 large white onion, peeled and diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 5 fresh sage leaves
  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 pounds sweet potato, diced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 15-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 15-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 large handfuls fresh kale, chopped
  • Salt and freshly-cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Pepitas
  • Microgreens
  • Fried sage leaves

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic: Using the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, soften the diced onion over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Simmer the soup: Pour in vegetable broth and add fresh sage leaves, sliced carrots, diced sweet potatoes, smoked paprika, rinsed white beans, and half of the cooked sausage. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 15 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  4. Add coconut milk and kale: Stir in the full-fat coconut milk and chopped kale. Cook uncovered for 1-2 minutes until the kale softens. Remove the sage leaves and season the soup with salt and freshly-cracked black pepper to taste.
  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the remaining cooked sausage and any optional toppings such as pepitas, microgreens, or fried sage leaves. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use vegan sausage as a substitute for a plant-based, vegetarian version of this soup.
  • Adjust the amount of smoked paprika and black pepper to control the spiciness of the soup according to your preference.
  • This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding extra vegetable broth if needed to loosen the consistency.
