Steps

  1. Prep first: chop the onion, mince the garlic, cube the butternut and sweet potato, slice the carrot, and chop the kale and parsley.
  2. Heat half of the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork with the oregano and red pepper flakes and cook, breaking it up, until browned and it reaches 160°F (71°C), 7 to 8 minutes. Move the pork to a bowl, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  3. Add the remaining half of the olive oil and the onion to the pot and cook over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and rosemary for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the butternut, sweet potato, carrot, chicken broth, salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes.
  5. Off the heat, stir in the coconut milk and purée the soup with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
  6. Return the pot to medium-low heat, stir in the kale and the cooked pork, and simmer until the kale wilts, about 4 minutes.
  7. Ladle into bowls and top with the Parmesan and parsley.
