Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Potatoes and Broth

    Stir in the diced potatoes, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Finishing the Soup

  1. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until creamy and smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer to a blender in batches.

  2. 5

    Add Cream and Beans

    Stir in the heavy cream and cannellini beans. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Kale and Capicola

    Add the chopped kale and diced capicola. Cook for another 5 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender.

Au Gratin Option

  1. 7

    Top with Toast and Cheese

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, place a slice of garlic toast on top of each bowl, and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  2. 8

    Bake

    Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
