Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor without dairy.

Cook bacon in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat until crispy; remove with a slotted spoon.

To that same pot, add the sausage and cook until browned, then add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, salt and red pepper flakes and saute for 1 minute.

Then, add the potatoes and broth and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, then cover the pot and simmer the soup for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

While the potatoes are cooking, whisk the arrowroot and water together in a small bowl; set aside.

Once the potatoes are done, add the arrowroot slurry, along with the coconut milk and kale to the soup. Simmer the soup for 3-5 more minutes until it’s thickened slightly.

Divide the soup into bowls, then sprinkle the reserved bacon on top. Enjoy!
