What You Need to Make This Sausage Sweet Potato Kale Soup
This soup uses simple, minimal ingredients so it’s easy to throw together quickly!
I like using either Wellshire Farms or Aidells chorizo or andouille sausage for sugar free options. Any spicy precooked sausage will work well!
Here’s everything you’ll need to prepare this soup:
- olive oil
- paleo friendly precooked chorizo or andouille sausage
- yellow onion
- garlic
- smoked paprika
- cayenne pepper
- sweet potato
- chicken bone broth
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- canned full fat coconut milk
- nutritional yeast
- fresh kale, roughly chopped
How to Make this Spicy Sausage Soup
Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium high heat.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the sliced sausage and brown about 3-4 minutes, then add the and onions and continue to cook another 2-3 minutes.
Add the garlic, paprika, and cayenne, and cook another 1-2 minutes. Stir in the sweet potatoes and toss to coat, then sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
Add the broth, lower the heat and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the sweet potatoes soften.
For a creamier soup, remove 1/2 of the sweet potatoes to a bowl and mash them or puree them with an immersion blender, then stir back into the soup.
Add in the coconut milk and nutritional yeast, then the kale and cook until just wilted, about 3 minutes.
Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Tips for a Creamier Soup
Once the sweet potatoes are soft, I like to blend about half of them in a separate bowl with an immersion blender.
The sweet flavor from the potatoes combined with the smoky sausage flavors blend so well and make this soup taste amazing!
If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can mash the potatoes with a fork or blend in a small blender. The extra step is work the extra creaminess and flavor!
I hope you’re ready for a new favorite simple and healthy soup recipe!

What can I use in place of nutritional yeast if I don’t want to buy a bag for just this recipe?
Mimms Thomas says
Made this soup for the first time today and my husband claims it’s the best soup he’s ever had. We eat Whole30 and having a creamy, healthy soup is hard to find. This was exactly that. Very easy and incredible flavor. Highly recommend!
Debbie in Texas says
This became one of my favorite soups EVER just that quick! A++!
Definitely worth the extra step to purée 1/2 the sweet potatoes. I used Amylu Andouille Sausages from Costco along with 2 extra links of Aidell’s Chicken-Apple sausages that I had on-hand. ABSOLUTELY a PERFECT!
Stephanie Hughes says
I never made homemade soup and this was so simple and easy. I omitted the spicy ingredients and it is still flavorful and smokey! I highly recommend!
gardnerpreston says
Sausages, sweet potatoes, kale are my favorite foods. however the 3 dishes combined together is something that I have never tried in the style of cooking soup. Your recipe is amazing, I will try it.
libby says
okay, this was delicious!!! great fall meal, I loved how flavorful it was and I loved that it was a healthy meal more than anything. My family loved it.
-we used chorizo
I did not have coconut milk so I used creme de coconut and slowly added just a few spoonfuls, it was great!!!
Kate says
This soup is delicious!! Perfect for fall/winter months, very healthy, and tasty. I love creamy soups, and this was perfect. Pureeing the sweet potatoes is a great trick to make the soup even better.
Linda O. says
Thank you for sharing the recipe with us. I love sweet potato so much. I usually go to the supermarket and put some into my Mercedes Benz handbag which I found at https://vascarabag.com/product/mcd-deluxe-women-handbag-with-free-matching-wallet/ at a sweeat 50% discount.

Great soup! Ate it today for lunch! Love the flavor profile. I used ground chorizo as I finally find it in casing.
I wanted to do it in the crock pot while we were away at church so I cooked the sweet potatoes the night before in the oven & just dumped all except the milk & yeast into the crock pot (kale piled on top of the soup while gone). Then added the milk and yeast when we got home and let then warm up for 15ish min. I thought I’d leave it chunky but then at the last minute decided to use the immersion blender to help & that was a good call.
Notes for crock pot cooking:
– precook the potatoes for an hour+ in the oven
– precook the onions & garlic to sweat them (I didn’t do this and it was noticable that the onions weren’t soft even though in crock for 3hrs)
– chop kale extra small, between a shred & chop – or use an immersion blender before serving – just makes each bite more cohesive
– I put in 18 oz Chorizo (precooked)and since it was ground it sort of hid in the soup, I’d add more next time or go with the slices as called for
Natalie says
The flavor is sooo good! I swapped kale for collard greens and it turned out perfect!

This soup was amazing. So much flavor.
KNS says
This soup is phenomenal! The flavors just pop. I didn’t get quite the right sausage and the dish STILL blew me away. I added a small scoop of brown rice in my bowl to make the dish even more hearty. Great recipe.
Michelle says
I don’t even really like sweet potatoes, but I LOVED this soup. It’s really easy to make, easy to make in a larger batch for lunches during the week and I will definitely be making it again. Thank you for a great recipe!
Greg says
This is so Amazing! Reminds of Olive Gardens Zuppa Tuscana GREAT JOB 👏
Mich says
This soup hits my three favorite marks – quick, easy and delicious! I had ground sausage on hand which was the only substitution I made. Next time I’ll plan a little better and use sliced. Thanks Michele
