Ingredients

▢ 1 pound ground Italian sausage adds savory flavor
▢ 1 large onion diced for sweetness and texture
▢ 2 tablespoons garlic minced adds aromatic flavor
▢ 6 cups chicken broth base of the soup can substitute with vegetable broth
▢ 3 pounds russet potatoes peeled & cut into bite-sized pieces about 7-8 medium potatoes (adds heartiness)
▢ 1 cup heavy cream creates the creamy texture
▢ 10 oz kale cut into bite-sized pieces fresh greens for added nutrition
▢ Salt and pepper to taste for seasoning

Instructions

In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, brown the Italian sausage and onions together over medium heat until the sausage is fully cooked and the onions are soft and translucent.
Discard any excess grease from the pot.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the potatoes, chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir in the heavy cream and heat until warmed through.
Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the kale until it wilts.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

This soup is a rich and creamy delight. The combination of hearty potatoes and spicy sausage creates a perfect balance with the fresh kale. It's sure to warm you up on a cold day!
