Ingredients
- Sausage: 1 lb (Italian sausage, bulk or casing removed)
- Kale: 2 cups (roughly chopped)
- Potatoes: 3 medium (peeled and diced)
- Garlic: 4 cloves (minced)
- Onion: 1 medium (diced)
- Chicken broth: 4 cups
- Heavy cream: 1 cup
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Set your stove to medium-high heat and place a large pot or Dutch oven on it.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the sausage to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Once the sausage is cooked, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Stir and cook until softened and fragrant.
- Assemble the Dish: Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, and bring to a simmer. Let it cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Cook to Perfection: Stir in the kale and let it wilt into the soup. Add the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Finishing Touches: Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
- Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot with crusty bread on the side.
Notes
- Use high-quality sausage for the best flavor.
- Don’t overcook the kale to keep its vibrant color and texture.
- Adjust the cream to taste—less for a lighter version, more for a richer, creamier soup.
