High Protein Sweet Potato Kale Soup
Tastes like traditional sausage kale soup, but it's SO much higher in protein!
Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 1/4 pounds ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 6 cups bone broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 cups finely chopped kale
- salt
- shredded parmesan optional
Instructions
- In a dutch oven over medium heat, add the bacon. Cook until crispy, then remove from the dutch oven and place on the plate. Leave behind the reserved fat. If using olive oil, just add olive oil and go to step 2.
- Add the ground meat or tempeh, garlic powder, oregano, basil, onion powder, chili flakes and a heavy pinch of salt. Sauté until full browned. Transfer to a plate with the bacon once cooked.
- Add the onion, garlic and a heavy pinch of salt to the dutch oven. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sweet potatoes, broth and cooked meat back to the dutch oven. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potato is fork tender.
- Add the cream and kale and stir into the soup. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Optional to serve with shredded parmesan on top.
