Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  3. 3

    Add Potatoes and Broth

    Stir in the diced potatoes, chicken broth, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Kale and Cream

    Add the chopped kale and heavy cream to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the kale to wilt and the soup to heat through.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with additional kale if desired.
