Ingredients

  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 4-5 yellow potatoes cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 cups water
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 4 cups kale chopped
  • 4 pieces cooked bacon
  • parmesan cheese to top optional

Instructions

  • In a large pot(my favorite is a dutch oven) sauté sausage until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl and set aside.
  • In same pot, over medium heat, sauté butter and onions until translucent about 3-4 minutes. Then add garlic for another minute.
  • Then add your potatoes, water, chicken broth, salt, pepper and bring to a boil. Once potatoes are tender, add heavy cream, kale, and sausage.
  • Serve immediately, and garnish with bacon and/or parmesan cheese.

Notes

*Can also be made dairy-free and still taste amazing.
Butter= olive oil or coconut oil
Heavy whipping cream= coconut milk
Parmesan cheese= either opt out or choose a dairy free option
*Taste great as leftovers too
