Cooking cue

Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.

  1. Set a large skillet or saute pan over medium to medium-high heat and keep the ingredients close so the cooking stays fast and even.
  2. 1. Warm the avocado oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then brown the ground sausage for 8-10 minutes, breaking it into crumbles with your spatula, and transfer the cooked meat to a plate using a slotted spoon.
  3. 2. In the remaining oil, cook the diced onion and carrot for 8-10 minutes until the onions develop some color.
  4. 3. Push the vegetables aside to create a space in the center, add the minced garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic before stirring everything together.
  5. 4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any flavorful bits stuck to the pan bottom, then bring the liquid to a boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. 5. Stir in the chopped kale and the reserved sausage, then continue simmering for another 5 minutes.
  7. 6. Remove from heat, ladle 2 cups of the hot broth into a blender with the cream cheese, and blend until completely smooth.
  8. Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
  9. 7. Pour the cream cheese mixture back into the pot and stir until the soup is uniformly creamy.
  10. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
