Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot and cook the italian sausage until no longer pink. As it's cooking use a spoon or spatula to break into small pieces.
Add the onion, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes to the sausage and cook that for 5 minutes or until the onion and garlic start to soften.
Stir in the potatoes, chicken broth, and coconut milk and bring to a boil and then simmer until potatoes are soft - this takes about 15-20 minutes.
Give the soup a taste, and then add in the salt.
Stir in the kale and cook for another 15 minutes or until the kale is tender.
