Method
 

Instructions for the Soup
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to medium low. Add onion and thyme. Sauté for 5 minutes until onion is softened. Add garlic and sauté 3 minutes.
  2. Add white wine vinegar and stir quickly to deglaze the pot.
  3. Add coconut milk, vegetable broth, potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes.
  4. Decrease heat to simmer and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes. Scoop out 2 cups of the soup from the pot and add to a blender. Give it a quick pulse, then pour back into the pot. Add kale and stir to combine. Cover and cook 5 minutes minutes until kale is tender and wilted.
  5. Serve it up with warm baguette, crispy coconut bacon, fresh herbs, or whatever you fancy – then enjoy!
  6. Instructions for Coconut Bacon
  7. Preheat oven to 325º. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Combine tamari/soy sauce, maple syrup, pepper, and paprika in a small mason jar and shake well to combine. You could also whisk it together in a bowl, but I find the mason jar method so much easier!
  9. Add coconut shreds to a ziplock bag and pour in the liquid mixture. Shake well to make sure it's all coated. Spread the shreds onto the baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake 15-20 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes. Do NOT overcook. They crisp up as they cool.
