Ingredients
– 1 pound (about 454 grams) spicy Italian ground sausage (or mild for a kid-friendly version)
– 4 tablespoons butter
– ½ white onion, diced
– 1 tablespoon minced garlic
– 6 cups chicken broth
– 2 cups water
– 4-5 yellow potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 3 teaspoons salt, or to taste
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 4 cups chopped kale
Instructions
1-First, brown the sausage in a pot over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, then remove and set it aside. This step locks in that meaty goodness without overwhelming the other flavors.
2-Next, in the same pot, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until it’s translucent, then add the garlic and cook for another minute to build a fragrant base.
3-Add the chicken broth, water, potatoes, salt, and pepper; bring everything to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, which takes about 15 minutes.
4-Stir in the kale and heavy cream, then return the cooked sausage to the pot for that perfect blend of textures and tastes.
5-Adjust the seasoning if needed and serve it hot, garnished with optional bacon and parmesan cheese for an extra touch.
