Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups chopped fresh kale
  • Cooked bacon bits, for garnish (optional)
  • Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown Italian sausage in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add sliced potatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  7. Serve hot, garnished with cooked bacon bits and Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • You can prepare the sausage and onion mixture ahead of time.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
