Tuscan kale and sausage soup zuppa Toscana - TK

Ingredients

• 4 Italian chicken sausages (such as Paleo), cut in quarter dice
• 4 slices bacon, cut in small bits (I prefer to use uncured bacon)
• 1 large yellow or red onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes (or regular chili flakes). Aleppo are not quite as spicy and more smoky & florally
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 46 ounces chicken broth
• 5 medium sized (not small) red potatoes, cut in bite sized chunks
• 1 12 ounce package chopped, frozen kale, thawed
• 1 cup full fat coconut milk (such as Thrive Market)
• 1/2 teaspoon course sea salt
