# Étapes de préparation:
01 -
Heat a large pot over medium-low heat. Add diced pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until fat renders and the pancetta becomes crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove pancetta with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
02 -
In the same pot, maintain medium-low heat and add unsalted butter. Stir in diced onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and ground sage. Add freshly ground nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften, about 5 minutes.
03 -
Stir in chopped carrots and sweet potato, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
04 -
Pour in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Cover and continue cooking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender.
05 -
Stir in cream, half-and-half, or coconut cream/milk. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. A few minutes before serving, add chopped kale and stir gently. Simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or up to 10 minutes for a softer texture.
