Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 lb Ground Pork (or ground meat of choice)
  • 1 tsp dried Parsley
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 medium Onion (diced)
  • 2 medium Carrots (finely diced)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 bunch Kale (chopped, stems removed)
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk (or Tigernut Milk or Sweet Potato Milk if coconut-free AIP, or milk of choice if not on AIP)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large sauce pan or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork, breaking it up with a spatula. Add the parsley, Italian seasoning, sea salt, garlic powder, and onion powder and mix with the pork as you break it up. Cook until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meat from the pan and put it on a plate.
  • Add the onions and carrots to the same pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 5-8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and using the spatula, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the broth to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the chopped kale, the cooked meat, and the coconut milk into the pan. Mix to disperse everything and then simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Serve warm.
