DIRECTIONS
- In a Dutch oven or heavy bottom pot over medium heat, place sausage removed from casings. Brown, breaking into large chunks, until fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Remove to a heat resistant bowl.
- Warm oil in the pot, still over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until becoming translucent, about 2 ½ minutes. Mix in minced or pressed garlic cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle turmeric, salt, cumin, and pepper over the onion, heating until fragrant, another 30 seconds. Stir in ½-inch cubes of sweet potato, and chopped celery, combining until vegetables are coated in the spices. Pour in bone broth and sausage, stirring until evenly distributed. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer until sweet potatoes are fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
- While the soup cooks, stack ¼ cup tightly packed parsley leaves (15g), ½ cup tightly packed cilantro leaves (8g), ¾ cup loosely packed dill (6.5g), and ¼ cup packed fresh mint (6.4g) on a cutting board and roughly chop.
- Remove soup from heat and stir in chopped kale and lemon juice until kale is wilted. Just before serving, stir in chopped herbs. One serving is about 1 1/3 cups soup.
Cooking Tip
Hot Italian chicken sausage is delicious in this soup, but you can substitute any chicken sausage that has 1 or fewer net carbs per link. Using raw sausage helps develop the flavor of this soup, but you can use sliced precooked sausage, adding along with the broth, if desired.
