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!

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
