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

Scale

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.
