Ingredients:
1 lb. Hot Italian sausage, casings removed (We just bought the Italian sausage that looked like ground beef)
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
kosher salt - (just a pinch)
Freshly ground black pepper (or whatever spice you like)
6 c. low-sodium chicken broth
4 large russet potatoes, diced
1 bunch curly kale, leaves stripped and chopped (chopped was fine)
3/4 c. heavy cream
4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
1/4 freshly grated Parmesan, for serving (I didn't have this)
Directions:
In a large pot over medium heat, cook sausage, breaking up with the back of a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate to drain.
Add onion to pot and let cook until soft, 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken broth and potatoes and cook until potatoes are tender, 23 to 25 minutes.
Stir in kale and let cook until leaves are tender and bright green, 3 minutes, then stir in heavy cream, sausage, and bacon and simmer 5 minutes more.
Season with pepper, garnish with Parm, and serve
Here's the final product and it was delicious!
