Description
This hearty soup brings together spicy Italian sausage, tender potatoes, and leafy kale in a rich, garlicky cream broth. It’s the kind of rustic comfort food that warms you from the inside out—easy to make, even easier to love.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy), casings removed
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
4 cups chicken broth
3 cups russet or Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
2 cups chopped kale
1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)
Salt and pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan, for serving (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil and cook sausage until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onion until soft. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook 1 minute.
Pour in broth and add sliced potatoes. Simmer 10–15 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
Return sausage to the pot, stir in kale, and simmer another 5 minutes.
Lower heat and stir in cream. Season to taste.
Serve hot with grated Parmesan if desired.
