Combine beef broth, water, potato, onion, chile pepper, and garlic in a Dutch oven or large saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the kale; season with nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until the potato is tender, about 20 minutes, adding more water if needed.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until slightly browned but still tender, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Chop the bacon.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
