Equipment

  • Dutch Oven or Large Heavy Bottom Pot
  • Skiller or Frying Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Sweet Italian Sausage
  • 5 cups Kale, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1.5 cups Onion, diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, grated or pressed
  • 1.5 pounds Potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups Chicken Bone Broth
  • 5 cups Water
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes optional
  • 1 cup Half and Half or Milk or Heavy Cream

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, brown the Italian sausage through, and then set aside.
  • In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, saute onions, salt, and black pepper in olive oil for about 3 minutes on medium-high heat.
  • Add garlic and stir for about 1 minute.
  • Add chicken bone broth, water, and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
  • Add the cooked sausage and kale to the pot and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add half and half, milk, or cream, and stir and cook for a few more minutes.
  • Serve once the soup is heated through.

Notes

I used thin skinned golden potatoes (you could leave the peels on). You can also use russet potatoes or red potatoes.
You could substitute spinach for the kale however, it will wilt considerably, so make sure you add it at the last minute.
Leftovers may be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for a few days. You can also freeze the soup for 1-2 months.
