Ingredients
- 1 pound (450 grams) Italian sausage (mild or spicy, depending on preference)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups (about 1 liter) chicken broth
- 3-4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups kale, washed and chopped (stems removed)
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned. Remove sausage, leaving rendered fat in the pot.
- Add onion to the pot, sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, cooking for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and return sausage to the pot. Add diced potatoes and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in chopped kale and simmer until wilted to your liking, about 5 minutes. Gradually add heavy cream or half-and-half, heating the soup through without boiling.
- Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, let the soup sit covered for several minutes after removing from heat.
- Add crispy bacon bits for a crispy texture before serving.
- Experiment with different sausage types or swap potatoes with sweet potatoes for variation.
- Do not overcook kale or boil the cream to avoid a mushy texture or curdling.
