Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb mild Italian sausage
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup bacon pieces
  • 4 large potatoes, sliced into circles
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 2 cups chopped kale
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Seasonings

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pot, brown the Italian sausage with the garlic, onion, and bacon pieces.
  2. Add your seasonings to the meat (don’t drain the fat!) and stir in the water and bouillon cubes.
  3. Bring to medium heat, add the sliced potatoes, and cook until they are almost soft.
  4. Stir in the kale, turn the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy whipping cream right at the end and serve.

Notes

Serve this delicious soup hot, paired with warm, crusty bread or a fresh salad. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top can add extra flavor. Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat on the stove over medium heat. You can also freeze the soup for up to three months. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight and warm on the stove. Adjust the seasonings to your liking; if you prefer it spicier, add more red pepper flakes.
