A comforting blend of Italian sausage, creamy potatoes, and vibrant kale, simmered in a savory broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (spicy or mild)
  • 4 medium potatoes (diced)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • 1 bunch kale (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Brown the sausage: Add the Italian sausage to the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Combine with potatoes and broth: Stir in the diced potatoes, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Simmer for tenderness: Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Add the greens and cream: Add the chopped kale and heavy cream to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender.
  6. Taste and adjust: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.

Notes

Serve with garlic bread or a green salad. Parmesan cheese and a glass of red wine complement this dish perfectly.
