A creamy and comforting soup filled with Italian sausage, tender potatoes, and fresh kale. Easy to make in one pot and ready in about 30 minutes.
1 lb Italian sausage (hot or sweet)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4–5 Yukon gold or russet potatoes, thinly sliced
1 cup heavy cream
2–3 cups chopped kale
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh grated parmesan, for serving (optional)
Heat oil in a large pot. Brown sausage until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
Sauté onion until translucent, then add garlic. Cook 1 minute.
Add broth and potatoes. Bring to boil, then simmer 10–12 minutes.
Return sausage to pot and simmer 2–3 more minutes.
Stir in cream and kale. Simmer until kale is wilted.
Season to taste. Serve hot, garnished with parmesan.
Use spinach instead of kale for a milder green.
Coconut milk works well for dairy-free.
Add bacon for smoky flavor.
Great for leftovers or meal prep.
