Paleo Creamy Kale, Sausage and Sweet Potato Soup

Since it has been so cool outside, I have been craving soup. I was inspired to make this soup that was based on an Olive Garden soup. Well this is a whole lot better for you than the soup from there and it is so easy to make and really delicious. The drive to Olive Garden would be more work. So let’s get to cooking and then we shall eat! This soup is filled with healthy kale, sweet potato, sausage, mushrooms and bacon.
