This Whole30 Sausage, Potato and Kale Soup from Cooking Whole30 is the perfect cozy dish to add to your winter menu rotation. 

Loaded with flavorful homemade sausage, tender potatoes, and nutrient-rich kale, this potato soup is a tasty and comforting meal that will leave you fueled (and filled).

Bonus: this recipe holds exceptionally well, and leftovers make for a great lunch or breakfast.

Preparation:

To make this soup, combine ground pork and savory spices, then brown the mixture with onion and garlic in a large pot or Dutch oven. Once the sausage is cooked through, stir in the broth, tomatoes (with their juices), and cubed potatoes. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, occasionally stirring, until the potatoes are tender — about 15-20 minutes. Add fresh kale and thyme and cook, uncovered, for five more minutes until the kale is tender.
