We keep it dairy-free by using canned coconut milk instead of heavy cream or milk. The flavor from the coconut milk adds SO much to the bit of heat from the sausage. It’s a perfect balance.
In a large dutch oven or large stock pot over medium-high heat, add the chopped bacon and saute until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
Add the mild Italian sausage into the pot and saute until fully cooked through, breaking up the sausage as it cooks. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
Once the soup fully cools, I store it in my favorite glass food storage containers in the fridge for up to a week.
As you reheat the leftover soup, add a dash of broth to increase the liquid slightly.
