Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crisp. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and dispose of grease, but do not wash the pan.

Step 2

In the same pot over medium-high heat, cook ground sausage until browned, breaking the meat apart with a wooden spoon while cooking. Transfer browned sausage to a paper towel-lined plate and dispose of grease, but do not wash the pan.

Step 3

To same pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and spices and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high and add in chicken broth, heavy cream, and shredded parmesan. Bring mixture to a simmer, add quartered radishes, and decrease the heat to medium-low. Simmer until radishes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in browned sausage and chopped kale and continue to simmer until kale wilts, about 5-10 minutes, before serving in bowls. Garnish soup with crisped bacon crumbles.
