Follow The Directions

01

Step
7 mins

In a large Dutch oven or stockpot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel. Crumble and set aside for garnish.

03

Step
2 mins

Add the Italian turkey sausage to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Add the diced onion. (2 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Sauté until the onion is softened and the sausage is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic, stirring frequently for about 45 seconds until fragrant. (7 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Pour in the chicken stock and milk. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. (1 minute)

06

Step
2 mins

Add the potato flakes, stirring until dissolved. (1 minute)

07

Step
1 mins

Stir in the chopped Swiss chard or kale, crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. (1 minute)

08

Step
15 mins

Bring to a simmer and cook on medium-low heat for 15 minutes, or until the greens are tender and the soup has thickened slightly. (15 minutes)

09

Step

Ladle into bowls and garnish generously with the crumbled bacon.

For a vegetarian version, substitute the turkey sausage with a plant-based alternative. You may need to add some olive oil to the pot to prevent sticking.
If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the greens.
Fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme can also be added for extra flavor.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness.
